“Certainly there was no one who had both the power and the inclination to confront the president. But there were still those who could challenge him through the example they set and the lessons they taught. One such person was a thirty-two-year-old lecturer on the Committee on Degrees in History and Literature named Timothy Patrick McCarthy. In the spring of 2002, McCarthy was co-teaching English 176a, “American Protest Literature from Tom Paine to Tupac.” His classroom partner was a young assoc...iate professor named John Stauffer, a rising star in the English department who shares McCarthy’s progressive politics. In Room 202 of Harvard Hall, a 1766 building parallel to Mass Hall, McCarthy and Stauffer lectured to almost two hundred students on what they had dubbed “protest literature.” Their syllabus included Tom Paine’s Common Sense, Harriet Beecher Stowe’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin, Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle, John Steinbeck’s The Grapes of Wrath, and yes, the music of murdered rapper Tupac Shakur.MoreLessRead More Read Less
