Michael Meeropol • Lessons from the Past on Fascism and Authoritarianism

Michael Meeropol, an esteemed economist and son of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg, will present a thought-provoking lecture on the resurgence of fascist and authoritarian tendencies in the United States. Drawing parallels between the fears of fascism during the Red Scare and contemporary concerns, Meeropol will argue why today’s fears are far from groundless. His talk will delve into the implications of recent political developments, including Project 2025 and potential Supreme Court decisions on presidential immunity, framing them within a broader historical context.
