another rare Sorokin photo

Pitirim A. Sorokin 2-11-1959 — Pitirim A. Sorokin speaking at Wayne State University, Detroit, MI, February 11, 1959

This grainy photograph of Pitirim A. Sorokin was published in The Daily Collegian (Wayne State University) on February 12, 1959.

The day before, Sorokin had delivered a lecture to “an overcrowded lecture hall” on the Wayne State University campus on a topic he had addressed numerous times: mutual convergence of the Russian and American systems and values.
