A History Lesson for us All
Comrades,
As evidence of our declining years, we know that there were no YouTube videos available to us at Ruskin to enliven our teaching. Despite this I do remember a short video clip, amongst several others, which showed Che Guevara's famous address to the UN Assembly in 1964. I sat open mouthed as I had, quite bizarrely by modern standards, not heard audio of him or seen any film footage. I distinctly remember thinking that the address was history in the making - and what a way to be taught history!. I think, maybe incorrectly, that Bob Purdie had demanded that the video be loaned from the library to accompany 'homework' in preparation for an essay he had set. Well, thanks Bob!
In Solidarity
Ian
