For this District 11 Book Club, Stu Levitan will give an illustrated talk on Madison in the 70s, adapted from his forthcoming book, Madison: The Illustrated Sesquicentennial History, Volume 2, 1932 to 1979.
Stu Levitan has been a mainstay of Madison media and government since 1975. An award-winning print and broadcast journalist, he has written extensively for local and national programs on radio and television. A former county supervisor, he is the only person in Madison history to chair all three of the city's primary land use and housing committees. Since 1987, he has also been a labor mediator/arbitrator for the State of Wisconsin.
Following the talk, there will be time for questions and answers with the author.
Attendees are encouraged to read Levitan's previous volume to prepare for what is sure to be a fascinating exploration into Madison's past. Copies of the 2006 Madison: The Illustrated Sesquicentennial History, Volume 1, 1856–1931 are available at the Ask Desk at Sequoya Library on a first-come, first-served basis.
