The Sixties Come to Southern Oregon

At the November 5 First Tuesdays Pub Talk, Ben Truwe - Local Historian, Southern Oregon Historical Society Volunteer, and majordomo of the massive Southern Oregon History Revised website - takes you on a journey back in time to 1960s Southern Oregon. Bill will share film footage taken in the late 1960 in Jackson County, capturing the arrival of the counterculture, students protesting the Vietnam war, and Rogue Valley police and National Guard preparation for rioting that, thankfully, never came. Also shown will be some of the last footage ever taken of Bobby Kennedy, taken during his 1968 visit to Medford. Tuesday, November 5, 7 p.m., Four Daughters Irish Pub, 126 W. Main, Medford. First Tuesdays Pub Talks are free and begin at 7:00 p.m. Talks last about an hour, with ample time for questions and discussion afterwards.
