*Richard Levins: A Memorial*
*
Sunday, February 28th at 2:00pm
Richard Levins was a "fourth-generation Red" who maintained a profound
commitment to Marxism throughout his life. This commitment made him
probably the most consistent published scientist in the US. He applied
Marxist method not only to his scientific work but to his political and
social analysis, his practice, and personal life.
In recent years, discussions with a volunteer at the Center for Marxist
Education led to significant evolution in his political thought. He
spent an increasing amount of time at the CME and with its volunteers.
The Center was the site of his last political intervention, just weeks
before he died in January. Come hear about his political evolution and
contribute your recollections of this wonderful, dedicated giant's life
and work.

Dear friends, colleagues, comrades and broader community of Richard Levins,
As some of you know, our father, Dick Levins, died on January 19 after a
slow decline related to his congestive heart failure. He spent his last
days and nights not in the hospital but at home in his comfortable
assisted-living apartment, surrounded by his family and friends. We
buried him the next day in Mount Auburn Cemetery.
We will host a memorial event at 1:30pm, on Sunday, March 6 at Harvard's
Knafel Center, Radcliffe Yard, Harvard Square, Cambridge
<https://goo.gl/maps/HQnHrnd6i9p> to mourn, celebrate and reflect on his
remarkable life and our shared loss. We will gather between 1:30 and
2pm. At 2pm, a few family members and friends will speak, followed by an
opportunity for anyone in attendance to share remembrances and
tributes. Light refreshments will be served afterwards.
The Knafel Center <https://goo.gl/maps/HQnHrnd6i9p> (the old Radcliffe
gym) is an easy walk from the Harvard Square T stop. Although its
formal address is 10 Garden St., the Knafel Center is actually on Mason
St., mid-way between Garden St. and James St./Phillips Place.
Please feel free to forward this message to others who knew Dick or his
workâthe mailing list we are using is sure to be incomplete.
Alejandro, Ricardo and Aurora Levins Morales
