Join author David Paul Kuhn for a discussion of his book "The Hardhat Riot: Nixon, New York City, and the Dawn of the White Working-Class Revolution."

Kuhn will be joined by historians Thomas Grace, Ph.D., Mary Ann Heiss, Ph.D., and Gregory Wilson, Ph.D., for a moderated panel exploring the significance of the 1970 Hardhat Riot and its lasting impact. Together, the panel will examine the intersection of protest, politics, and class conflict—then and now—drawing connections between historical events and present-day divisions in American society.
