Join Third World Study Group tomorrow for a reading and discussion of Ho Chi Minh’s revolutionary writings. Ho Chi Minh was a Vietnamese revolutionary and Marxist–Leninist politician who served as the 1st President of the Democratic Republic of Vietnam from 1945 until his death in 1969.  Aside from being a revolutionary, Ho Chi Minh was also a writer, a poet and a journalist highly critical of colonialism and imperialism. Come out to learn more about one of the most important revolutionary figures of the 20th century!

Hosted weekly at the Muncie Liberation Studio, Third World Study Group is meant to be a place where we can engage in collective study to develop a more holistic understanding of the political state of the world and its history. We seek to hear from people engaged directly in struggles for national liberation and to better understand the role of U.S. imperialism in global politics.

George R. Dale, a Muncie newspaper editor in the 1920s, received national attention for his opposition to the Indiana Ku Klux Klan. After years of legal battles, threats of violence, and attacks on the family home, George was elected Mayor of Muncie in 1929. Daisy Dale, the great-great granddaughter of George, tells the story of the legal challenges he faced a century ago. 

Daisy Dale is a lifelong Muncie resident, local activist and journalist. With her interest and experience in local politics and history, she maintains the Muncie Post-Democrat, an outlet started by her great-great grandfather George R. Dale in 1921, and now continues its legacy online. She is also a board member of Muncie Queer Alliance and a commissioner for the Muncie Human Rights Commission.
