Accessing Our First International Reference Person, Harvey Jackins
As our RC Communities continue to develop and grow, an increasing percentage of RCers never had direct access to our first International Reference Person, Harvey Jackins. His mind was a tremendous resource for the RC Communities and played a crucial role in the development of the ideas on which our Communities are based. I would like every RCer to have exposure to his thinking.
Many of Harvey’s ideas can be found in the books he wrote in his more than forty years of leading RC. We have created a page on the RC website where several experienced RCers have posted some of the important ideas they have gained from his writings. I encourage you to visit this page, <www.rc.org/harveyarticles>, for a first exposure to, or reminder of, his thoughts.
On the same page are audio recordings of two important articles: “The Oppression of Classism” and “The Chronic Patterns of Classism.”
