It was believed that the Seneca Army Depot (SEAD) in Romulus would be the transhipment point from which these missiles would be dispatched. The Seneca Depot was suspected of housing a huge nuclear weapon facility (this suspicion was later confirmed) and thus was considered an appropriate target of antimilitarist activity. The individuals involved in the planning stages of the Encampment had long-standing affiliations with various pacifist groups and were strongly coITu~itted to feminist concerns for peace. The following excerpt from notes drafted by Encampment organizers during its early stages explains their intentions: In 1983, Seneca Army Depot will be an important site for resistance because of its role in the deployment of nuclear weapons in Europe. It is our hope that the ongoing presence of women camping at the base will help to raise awareness and bring about changes in present military policies. It is also our hope to strengthen international connections with the Peace Movement in Europe, particularly with the Women's Peace Camp at the Greenham Common base in England, as well as others throughout Europe. Because men have traditionally gone off to work for war, it seems appropriate and necessary that women initiate working for peace. The visibility of women taking this initiative has, for the most part, been ignored. The encampment will enable women's concerns for peace to become more well known. (Notes, March 13, 1983) 1 After extensive planning and fundraising, founding members purchased a farmhouse and fifty-one acres of land adjacent to the army base in Romulus. This farmhouse was to serve as a communications center and a staging site from which to launch protest demonstrations. The schedule of events for the summer of 1983 included peace marches, planned civil disobedience, vigils, street theater, meetings with local townspeople, and weekend workshops. Organizational literature reflected the founding members' collective interest in eliminating sexism, racism, speciesism, and social injustice. Military violence was perceived as only one facet of patriarchal violence which is manifested in rape, wife-battering, homophobia, and the desecration of the earth in the pursuit of material wealth. Shortly after the Seneca Encampment opened on July 4, 1983, a strong feminist culture became permanently entrenched. In its most extreme form, that culture exhibited itself as a lesbian separatist faction. According to the reports of some participants, some separatists not only refused to work public information booths because of the presence of male visitors, but actually discouraged heterosexual women from taking part in Encampment activities. While it is true that some women found their experience at the peace camp to be positive and self-empowering, it is also true that others who came eager to work for the disarmament cause were made to feel unwelcome by a closed community of lesbian separatists. Organizers have stated that it was never their intention to establish the Women's Peace Camp as a separatist entity. One organizer who was interviewed for this study admitted that she herself was very uncomfortable at the camp because of the "extreme element" and could not remain there for long periods of time. The research shows that the Encampment was widely perceived as a place controlled by radical lesbians in the eyes of participants and outsiders alike. Some have claimed that the conflicts generated by lesbian and separatist issues 2 became the central focus of the camp, overshadowing the disarmament cause. These conflicts were a constant source of tension within the camp, according to some participants. After the first summer, the Encampment was widely recognized as a radical lesbian sanctuary. Although it continued to sponsor workshops and demonstrati"ons, very few women came to take part in these events. The Encampment closed in 1993 and is now a residential site. Radcliffe College has preserved many of the camp's cultural artifacts and written accounts by some of the women who were there. There is no source which provides a comprehensive account of the Women's Peace Camp at the Seneca Army Depot--the largest and most well-known peace camp in the United States. There is, in fact, little academic research on any peace encampment. Supporters of the Seneca Encampment claim significant political influence, such as impact on former New York Governor Mario Cuomo's decision to investigate the Seneca Depot for the presence of nuclear weapons, as well as inspiration for the establishment of similar peace camps throughout the United States. Furthermore, Seneca Encampment supporters claim that, as part of the larger peace movement, they were influential in the signing of the Intermediate-range Nuclear Forces Treaty. This study of the Seneca Encampment may be valuable for the following reasons: 1. It provides a historical documentary of the first land-based peace camp in the world. This may be of special interest to both peace activists and feminists because of the nature of the camp. 2. It examines the communication processes and cultural attributes of a unique organizational entity, and therefore may be of potential interest to those in the field of organizational communication. 3 Resources for this study include: 1. Extended confidential interviews with (a) founding members of this Encampment, (b) individuals who participated in Encampment activities during major political actions and/or during periods in which no actions were scheduled, and (c) individuals who were interested in but discouraged from becoming involved in life at the Encampment. 2. Documents including: a. Organizational literature which consists of the Women's Encampment for a Future of Peace and Justice Resource Handbook, meeting minutes from 1983, informal meeting notes from 1983 to 1993, vision statements, com.~ittee lists, orientation materials, fact sheets, flyers, postcards, posters, and song sheets. b. Personal correspondence of Encampment founders. c. Newspaper accounts from the mainstream press. d.

Lawrence, the Free State or anti-slavery capital of Kansas during Bleeding Kansas, was dubbed the "Cradle of Liberty" by Abraham Lincoln. Partly due to this reputation, a vibrant Black community developed in the town in the years following the Civil War. White Lawrencians were fairly tolerant of Black people during this period, though three Black men were lynched from the Kaw River Bridge in 1882 during an economic depression in Lawrence. When the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in 1894 that "separate but equal" was constitutional, racial attitudes hardened. Gradually Jim Crow segregation was instituted in the former bastion of freedom with many facilities becoming segregated around the time Black Poet Laureate Langston Hughes lived in the dty-asa child. Then in the 1920s a Ku Klux Klan rally with a burning cross was attended by 2,000 hooded participants near Centennial Park. Racial discrimination subsequently became rampant and segregation solidified. Change was in the air after World "vV ar II. The Lawrence League for the Practice of Democracy (LLPD) formed in 1945 and was in the vanguard of Post-war efforts to end racial segregation and discrimination. This was a bi-racial group composed of many KU faculty and Lawrence residents. A chapter of Congress on Racial Equality (CORE) formed in Lawrence in 1947 and on April 15 of the following year, 25 members held a sit-in at Brick's Cafe to force it to serve everyone equally.
