In 1968, Czechs & Slovaks under soviet-dominated communist rule yearned for a say in the governance of their own country. A blossoming of political discourse in cafes and pubs led to demands for self rule in the capital. Unfortunately, the Prague Spring uprising was crushed with Soviet Tanks, but their spirit inspired our group's desire to exchange ideas on the domestic and international affairs. Prague Spring was founded in 2003 in New York City. The group picks a topic, identifies articles or …

Feel free to offer feedback on the subject of venues and meeting dates. I suggest meeting 1-2 weeks after the publication of a new edition.
