Join Dr. Penny Bryden for her talk entitled, &quot;October 5, 1970: The FLQ Crisis.&quot; Here&#39;s what to expect:&nbsp;On October 5th 1970, British trade commissioner James Cross was kidnapped from his home in Montreal. Other attacks followed, orchestrated by a shadowy underground group known as the Front de lib&eacute;ration du Qu&eacute;bec. What became known as the October Crisis upended Canadian politics and pulled the nation into the wider global phenomenon of decolonization and political violence. &nbsp;The memory and understanding of that episode has changed dramatically over time, and its significance has continued. Doors open at 5:30pm, with the talk beginning at 7pm.
