I think that's just the gift of a great teacher. Her interest in the exploration and exchange of ideas also led Primack to help found the the Florida Free Speech Forum, modeled after the Cleveland City Club Forum broadcast on National Public Radio, WUFT FM Classic 89.1. Primack said one day about four years ago a group of UF faculty, all Unitarians, got together and decided to create a similar forum in Gainesville. They met weekly all summer to work out the program's logistics, and the forum was up and running in the fall. The Florida Free Speech Forum meets the second Monday of each month, September through May, at the Sheraton Hotel.
Guests speak on timely topics followed by an extensive question and answer period.
April's guest was Michael Radelet, professor and chair of UF's Department of Sociology. He spoke on the death penalty. Richard Scher, UF professor of political science, addressed the forum earlier this month. His topic was the 2000 session of the Florida State Legislature. Primack continues on the forum's board.
