Arts & Culture Series Presents:
Henry J. Kaiser: A Patriot in Pinstripes
Why would a Berkeley leftist and labor scholar point to a major American industrialist as a role model? In this thought-provoking program, former Kaiser Permanente archivist and historian Lincoln Cushing takes a fresh look at Henry J. Kaiser—examining the choices, contradictions, and values that shaped his impact on World War II, American industry, and the creation of a healthcare institution many of us depend on today. Cushing’s perspective challenges easy assumptions and invites us to reconsider how leadership, labor, and public good intersect.
Cushing will be joined by Steve Gildord, consulting historian at Kaiser Permanente, documentary filmmaker, journalist, and the author of several books on Kaiser Permanente.
