****

Bob Helms will be speaking at the A-Space on Monday, June 22nd, at 7:30 p.m. Bog is a historian of alternative local history, in the vein of Howard Zinn. His topic is Chaim Weinberg (1861-1939), who was an immigrant union organizer in Philadelphia in the late 19th/early 20th centuries. Bob edited Weinberg's memoirs, Forty Years in the Struggle: The Memoirs of a Jewish Anarchist, published by Litwin Books in collaboration with Wooden Shoe Books earlier this year. Bob can be an entertaining and enlightening speaker, so if you're interested in radical, alternative local history, come on out! The A-Space is located in West Philadelphia at 4722 Baltimore Avenue, right on the #34 trolley line. Their website can be found at http://www.the-aspace.org/.
