Show Details

Barry Sutton was one of a kind. He was a cultural aficianado, attending concerts, readings, lectures, and meetings of all sorts. He frequented many houses of worship, including Catholic, Unitarian, Methodist, Lutheran, Quaker, Buddhist, the Peace House, and several synagogues. He was a dedicated social justice and environmental activist, well known in Portland, and also to Noam Chomsky at MIT and the director of programs for unhoused people at the Department of Housing and Urban Development in Washington, DC. And he did all this while living on the streets of Portland for 50 years, getting around on his bike.

Barry died in September, 2023. On April 2, 2024, Rethinking Psychiatry held a memorial for him. This program includes journalist Daniel Forbes reading his opus honoring Barry's life, along with memories from family and friends. Barry was an inspiring person. We hope you have a chance to watch the show.
