Editor's Notes
- Police Surveillance photo, March 2, 1965. April 17, 1965 SDS called first national March on Washington against the war. We knew LBJ would be in Texas and held a sit-in and vigil at Ranch Road 1 outside LBJ’s Ranch.
- January 1967.
- The University Freedom Movement brought thousands to the main mall at UT. It followed a series of activities: Flipped Out Week, a Poetry Festival, bands, and picnic billed as a “Festival of Peace, a speech by Black Panther Stokely Carmichael, an SDS campaign for Student Body elections on a Freedom Platform, and an organizing meeting held on the West Mall to plan an action before the arrival of Hubert Humphrey at the State Capitol on April 24. Chairman of the Board of Regents Frank Erwin came to the planning rally on the West Mall and identified six names for disciplinary action: Gary Thiher, Alice Embree and Dick Reavis (all SDS candidates), Dave Mahler and Tom Smith (SDS and Ragstaffers) and Richard LeFeber (Young Democrats President).
- 1970 March after Kent State brought the largest numbers into the streets (as many as 25,000). The escalation of the war into Cambodia had provoked student demonstrations across the nation. On May 4, 1970 four student demonstrators were killed by the Ohio National Guard at Kent State. Eleven days later, 2 students were killed at Jackson State in Jackson, Mississippi.
