23:00 Conversation with Studs Terkel
Studs Terkel, award winning author and radio personality, 1912-2008.
In 1952 Terkel began working for WFMT, first with the "Studs Terkel Almanac" and the "Studs Terkel Show," primarily to play music. Interviewing came along by accident, and later became the award-winning, "The Studs Terkel Program." His first book, Giants of Jazz, was published in 1956. Ten years later his first book of oral history interviews, Division Street : America, came out. It was followed by a succession of oral history books on the 1930s Depression, World War Two, race relations, working, the American dream, and aging. Terkel won the 1985 Pulitzer Prize for The Good War, which challenged the prevailing notion that, in contrast to the Vietnam War era, World War II was a time of unblemished national solidarity, goodwill, and unified purpose. In 1997 Terkel was elected a member of The American Academy of Arts and Letters. Two years later, he received the George Polk Career Award in 1999. In 2001 he published Will the Circle Be Unbroken: Reflections on Death, Rebirth, and Hunger for a Faith. He was also Distinguished Scholar-in-Residence at the Chicago Historical Society.

More than three million Colombians are refugees in their own country.  Political violence, economic desperation, and ecological disasters continue to displace hundreds of thousands each year. Que Viva La Montaña tells the story of a massive flood in southwest Colombia that displaces over 1,000 people, and their remarkable actions that bring hope instead of despair.

Event: Friday, Oct 10th, 7:30pm, La Peña Cultural Center, 3105 Shattuck Ave, Berkeley
