Radical=Extremism?
We are seeking to break free of an ideology and false consciousness that casts a dark shadow on a word that has deep roots in the United States, an attempt to bring new breath for a dying word.

We live in an "Age of Extremes" as Hobsbwam accurately described. The RSU is going to continue to provide readings and films that show the depth and width of the world in that we live in.
