James Campbell, 1925-2021

Jim Campbell speaks at Network conference at Penn Center

Our dear friend, teacher, colleague, and mentor Jim Campbell died on Jan. 30 at age 95. His involvement in the SC Progressive Network goes back more two decades, and we are all richer for it.

He was generous with his time and talent, always eager to share his vast knowledge of history and the radical political analysis that informed his life’s work.

We are planning a tribute in conjunction with the upcoming session of the Modjeska Simkins School, which begins in March. Meanwhile, here are a few links worth watching and reading.
