"The Revolution Will Not Be Televised," by Gil Scott-Heron (found in 'Tube Talk' published by the Great Books Foundation) is the literature that will be discussed at this meeting.
Great Books discussions are non-didactic open-ended gatherings where people of all backgrounds come to talk about substantial literature and the great ideas and issues that literature addresses. Discussions are lively engaging friendly sometimes contentious probing enlighteningóand a good deal of fun. Participants challenge their own and others' beliefs and opinions in the light of a rich thought-provoking text.
The object of a Great Books discussion is not to go home with the "right answer." The object is to examine the many questions raised by a text and to test some of the many possible answers by looking back to the text using sound reasoning informed by our own experience.
