Ep 423 - High School Students Unite! w/ Aaron G. Fountain, Jr.
This week we’re talking with about his new book (UNC Press, 2025). By shifting focus from college campuses to American high schools, Fountain’s work uncovers a whole world of 1960s and 1970s activism by young people around the country, who fought for their own rights within a larger struggle for social, racial, and economic justice. In this conversation, he shares some of the most compelling revelations he’s discovered in oral history interviews, underground newspaper archives, and FBI records, and reflects on the role that high schoolers play in today’s chaotic political landscape.
