I'm gonna guess it was in the '70's. A blurb in the Village Voice posted about a meeting of the Communist Party
in the Upper West Side. Now 'm not gonna pas that up.
I get there. I don't recall what the meeting topic was or who the speaker was or if there was anyone but a moderator.
All's I remember about it was, the majority of attendees in their 80's or 90's with several of them asleep in their chairs.
Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
