On August 31st the Polish movement, Solidarność, can be called 40 years old. This time in 1980, an agreement was signed allowing for the formation of the Independent Self-Governing Trade Union Solidarity. In the middle of July 2020, Prof. Michael Kennedy recorded a video for a Polish foundation, Centrum Historii Zajezdnia, reflecting on what Solidarity was 40 years ago, and where we might see it today.
