1. Thank you for posting this. I just finished watching it..

I'm always looking for current talks by Chris Hedges.

His talks are pretty much variations on the same theme, but his ideas do bear repeating.

4. Days of Destruction Days of Revolt is an unforgettable book

I am using Days of Destruction with my high school students because it is so powerful. I know they will have issues with the vocabulary so I am in the process of typing up a list for each chapter starting with the introduction which I just finished.

We did a lesson on the Sand Creek Massacre so I am following up with Hedges and Sacco's chapter on Pine Ridge.

An interesting anecdote: I have used the website Donor's Choose to successfully obtain all kinds of books sets for my classroom, everything from the Holocaust to other books and novel sets but I have put this book up twice and have failed to get it funded. Not one donation for even five bucks. We really do live in a corporatized world. I have to either have my students by it for extra credit or buy it myself which is tough lately. Because it is a book, it doesn't fall under the fair use policy.

I never tire of hearing Hedges speak.
