* 1968, Forty Years Later: Tariq Ali Looks Back on a Pivotal Year in  the
Global Struggle for Social Justice *

We continue our series "1968,  Forty Years Later" with the political
activist, novelist and historian, Tariq  Ali. Back in the 1960s, with the
Vietnam War at its height, Tariq Ali earned  a national reputation through
debates with figures like Henry Kissinger and  then-British Foreign Secretary
Michael Stewart. He protested against the  Vietnam War, led the now-infamous
march on the American embassy in London in  1968, and edited the
revolutionary paper Black Dwarf, where he became friends  with numerous
influential figures, such as Stokely Carmichael, Malcolm X,  John Lennon and
Yoko Ono. Forty years later, Tariq Ali continues his lifelong  struggle
against US foreign policy across the  globe.

All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second,  it is 
violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident." Arthur  
Schopenhauer (1788-1860)
