John Paul Stevens, 1920-2019: Stories From His Houston Appearance
by Randall Morton, President, Founder, The Progressive Forum
John Paul Stevens appeared at The Progressive Forum on November 16, 2010, at the age of 90. I was extremely nervous about the one-on-one interview, but he put me at ease with a joke. Backstage he asked to see the questions, which I thought was fine, all toward better answers. Emerging from his dressing room, I asked, "Sir, are there any questions I shouldn't ask?" He said, "Don't worry, I'll just change the question."

The Progressive Forum Reopens After Hiatus of Three-and-a-half Years
Letter from Randall Morton: Relaunching!
Greetings All,
I’m excited to be working on our next event! After a three-and-a-half year hiatus, we are relaunching The Progressive Forum. In this dangerous time of a Trump Presidency, I believe we need it more than ever. But more deeply, personally, I’ve missed the engagement, the sharing of real values, and the fire of tribal gatherings.
Letter from Randall Morton: Our closing event
Greetings All,
After nine years of sharing the warm light of a tribal campfire with you, a gathering of kindred spirits with the great minds, we are ending our theatrical events and continuing the mission online. I will miss you.
