From Long Island Museum
@ We Long Islanders don’t hesitate to make ourselves heard, and never was our fighting spirit more impactful than it was in the roiling years from 1967 to the early ’80s. Join Amy Benjamin to revisit how we raised our voices for and against the Vietnam War, the Shoreham nuclear power plant, school desegregation, the Island Trees book censorship case, the Stony Brook University drug bust, and the Grumman environmental and military issues. REGISTRATION This program is included with museum admission. Space is limited, so registration is requested.
