Public Seminar C. T. Vivian’s posthumous book, It’s in the Action: Memories of a Nonviolent Warrior, is coming out soon. This reminds me of an important 1984 New School event in which he was honored. That day, the focus came to be upon Adam Michnik. Today, I am remembering Vivian along with Michnik, as I seek to understand the challenge of simultaneously pursuing democracy and social justice. The New York Times, April 26, 1984: “A Polish Nobel laureate in exile stood in a church on lower Fifth Avenue yesterday and read an open letter of moral outrage from a jailed dissident in Poland to his jailer. The letter, as another speaker put it, fell like ”a tornado” on the 50th anniversary of the University in Exile.”
