In a polarized age full of vicious verbal combat, what should we do when we encounter ideas and practices we find highly objectionable? Seek to “cancel” those with whom we disagree? Threaten violence to try and silence our opponents? In the 1960s, some college students from right here in Florida faced these questions head on. And the answers they found ought to inform—and inspire—us today. Come and learn their story—and how it relates to our own present-day situation.
