Restrictions on voter rights are being proposed in Republican-majority State legislatures across the US. In Georgia, they have been adopted, leading President Joe Biden to denounce “Jim Crow in the 21st Century”.
So with the GOP in control of 30 State houses, will Democrats have a much more difficult path to election? Will Biden’s Presidential victories in states such as Georgia and Arizona be one-offs? Will progressives be shut out on issues such as abortion, women’s rights, and a living wage?
The original manuscript for On The Road Jack Kerouac s beat generation novel goes on show at UCD.
A leading figure in the beat generation of the 1950 s Jack Kerouac typed the autobiographical novel in just three weeks on a scroll made of sheets of paper taped together. The original manuscript scroll of Kerouac s seminal novel On The Road has been delivered to University College Dublin s Clinton Institute ahead of a three and a half week exhibition, starting on Wednesday.
58 years old, 127 feet long
How the autobiographical, road trip novel was written is almost as interesting as the influence of Kerouac s writings.
