In college I studied '60s and '70s radicalism, student activism, forms of political violence, groups like the Weathermen, the Black Panthers, the Symbionese Liberation Army, the New Left.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Students in the '60s were responsible for great changes, politically and socially.
I was a right winger into the 70's but I left the right in late 70's.
The uproar of the late '60s - the antiwar movement, black riots, angry women. It was a wonderful time.
You'd have to put yourself back in the 1960s to understand how separate from the mainstream of American life soldiers felt themselves to be, because we knew that students and others were demonstrating pretty violently against what we were doing.
I came at age in the '60s, and initially my hopes and dreams were invested in politics and the movements of the time - the anti-war movement, the civil rights movement. I worked on Bobby Kennedy's campaign for president as a teenager in California and the night he was killed.
I was involved in the anti-war movement.
I grew up on the East Coast and was going to go to an Ivy League School, but at the last minute I decided to be a hippy. It was the protest movements on the war, peace movements were going on at our university. It was a fantastic time.
I worked in the media from the late 30's through the early 70's. Politics in general became more liberal both nationally and within the state as the years passed.
I've always been interested in the history of radical feminism - what happened to those women of the 1960s and '70s.
When I started graduate school I was interested in the culture of the Civil Rights Movement.
