Maurice Isserman, James L. Ferguson Professor of History, was interviewed for a Minnesota Public Radio look back at the "Summer of Love," the summer of 1967. "Midmorning" host Kerri Miller spoke with both Isserman and San Francisco Chronicle music critic Joel Selvin about the music, protests, social upheaval, the influence of earlier events in the '50s and '60s and the fusion of black and white culture during that summer.
Isserman is the co-author of America Divided: The Civil War of the 1960s, a book that explains what made the 1960s a decade in which people felt they could make history and why, in the following decades, the history felt so troubling to Americans.
