MDS, Inc. Conference
I’ve just received word from Paul Buhle that the MDS, Inc. conference in New York yesterday went smoothly. Reportedly, all board nominees were confirmed, which would seem to include Roderick Long. MDS, Incorporated is the incorporated non-profit organizational face of Movement for a Democratic Society, which could be described as a companion organization to the revived Students for a Democratic Society.
IT WAS REALLY GREAT and I’ll leave to others, and a few days, to pull together the details.
Speakers were splendid, Board confirmed, no nominees removed, the spirit of the meeting was perfectly splendid (a few soreheads could be heard,but very few,and only in a few unpleasant outbursts; at that, hardly anyone sought to interrupt our invited speakers), and the conclusion was a love-fest. So far from a hopeless wrangle, we finished early!!!
To everybody who didn’t get to the New School: Wish you’d be there. An auspicious launch. Manning Marable is our Chair, and I can’t even imagine a better one.
Congratulations to new MDS, Incorporated chair Manning Marable, the entire new MDS, Inc. board and Roderick Long in particular. The MDS, Inc. board is, in all essentials, an all-star team of the American left.
