Today we listen to a speech by journalist and author Chris Hedges that he made at the Holter Museum of Art at the University of Montana in Helena. He is a senior fellow at the Nation Institute and a regular columnist for progressive news website truthdig.com, as well as a former foreign correspondent for the New York Times from 1990-2005. Hedges talks about his time teaching American history to prison inmates and the moral imperative of nonviolent social justice.
