Where Did Baby Boomers’ Dreams Go?
Can They Ever Be Realized?
Richard Finnegan
Professor Emeritus, Political Science, Stonehill College
Four Classes on Tuesdays February 23, March 2, 9, 16 from 1:30 – 3:00
What happened to the dreams that today’s Baby Boomers held when they were students in the 1950s & 1960s? They fought and had dreams for a better world, a better country, a better future. They worked hard for those ideals. What happened? Why were those dreams never realized? Why, over half a century later, are we at the point that we find ourselves in now? How can these ideals finally be realized? How can we achieve social equality, a clean planet, and more?
These questions will be addressed and discussed in a four-class course while we examine the history and the role of four institutions.
