From free food to free stores, free money, and free communication, the Diggers defined a politics a half century ago that continues to exert a powerful influence on radicals today.
Original participants in the Digger movement, Judy Goldhaft and Kent Minault, describe the interventions, confrontations, and celebrations that ushered in the Death of Money, and later the Death of the Hippie.
Eric Noble, Digger archivist, will show how archiving itself is a form of making history, and brings history across time while shaping contemporary sensibilities.
