Description

New York Times bestselling author and acclaimed historian Douglas Brinkley chronicles the rise of environmental activism during the Long Sixties (1960 - 1973), telling a highly charged story of an indomitable generation that quite literally saved the natural world under the leadership of John F. Kennedy, Lyndon Johnson, and Richard Nixon. We celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Kootenai Environmental Alliance and the Clean Water Act in 2022, and learn about Idahoans who have created laws that continue to benefit us: Senator Frank Church and The Wilderness Act, the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, Endangered Species Act - and much more. Brinkley tells a great story, combining his intellect with his ability to bring it all home. Support KEA and hear all he has to say - it's an incredible way to spend a summer evening!
