I think back to the time I spent with George and I keep on telling myself, “it was just a dream; it was just a dream.” It wasn’t.

I met George Sossenko, 88, at an anarchist workshop at the United States Social Forum in Atlanta this past June. I found his phone number and was able to track him down to talk to him before I left town. He and his wife Birdie picked me up for lunch and I spent the next few hours talking with him about the Spanish Civil War, anarchism and revolution.
