Between 1989 and 2002, Larry Gara produced four “radical quizzes” for WRL’s Nonviolent Activist to encourage everyone to learn about our radical past. The first, “A Radical Quiz,” was published in the September 1989 issue. Gara, a professor at Wilmington College in Ohio, a WWII resister, and a long-time WRL member, wrote an introduction for the first quiz. Gara reminds us that "our view of history contributes to the way we think about ourselves and the society of which we are a part, like it or not. Much public school history excludes virtually everything but wars and politics.... This quiz is designed to whet your appetite for a deeper knowledge of our radical past."
