My friend Harry has posted a copy of the talk he gave at Finn Fest a few weeks ago on "Free Thought and Secularism in the Finnish Diaspora" on his Finn Labor web site. His talk covered a lot of territory -- immigrant history in the upper Midwest, religion, social and political movements (Socialism, utopian communities), the relationship between the church and the government in Finland both historically and today. Definitely worth reading by anyone who has any connection with Finland or Finnish heritage, or is simply interested in social and labor history.
Harry's memoirs are well worth reading, too. He's led an interesting life as an activist, as a writer, and as an actor.
