Scope and Contents The Bob Fitch Photography Archive primarily consists of photographic materials: contact sheets, negatives, prints, and slides. The images are predominantly black and white, however there are also color images. There is additionally a small amount of notes, correspondence, newspaper clippings, audiovisual materials, and research materials. The collection also contains documents, graphics, spreadsheets, databases, software programs, video, audio, and other material created and/or stored on computers, removable media, and hard drives that were managed by Bob Fitch. The CD-ROMs have been processed and can be accessed but the rest of the computer media is closed until processing has been completed. The collection is composed of Bob Fitch’s work as a photojournalist and activist documenting the leaders and ordinary people involved in social justice, civil rights, labor, and peace movements. The collection also records his professional, personal, and family life. Some of the subjects the materials cover are Cesar Chavez, the United Farm Workers, Dorothy Day, the Catholic Worker movement, Martin Luther King Jr., the Southern Christian Leadership Conference and the civil rights movement, Daniel and Philip Berrigan, David Harris, Joan Baez, hippie communes and communities, and the campaigns of Ron Dellums and other progressive politicians. The collection also documents cultural change, alternative lifestyles, sexuality, art, religion, spirituality, reconciliation movements, nonviolence, ecology, youth, poverty, family life, and living conditions. Fitch work was primarily based in Northern California and the San Francisco Bay Area as well as the American South. Bob Fitch used a numbering system to organize his photographs. The numbers ascend from 101 and are, on a macro level, chronological. Each contact sheet was assigned a number which was marked on the back of the sheet. The negatives were placed in an envelope marked with the same number. Large projects, such as the Glide Foundation, SCLC, and the UFW East Coast trip, had their own numbering system – the initials of the organization followed by a number, again ascending from 101. Fitch arranged the negatives from these large projects with the rest of the materials from that project and they were separated from the main group of negatives. The numbering system, where existent or legible, has been noted in the scope and contents at the file level in this guide. Some materials containing privacy and confidentiality issues have been closed for 80 years from the date it was created. Within this guide, these files will be marked with a Restricted Material note specifying the extent of the closure period. Biographical Bob Dewitt Fitch (1939-2016) was an activist, photojournalist, union steward, community organizer, minister, housing program manager, and musician. He was born in Los Angeles, California on July 20, 1939. His father, Robert, was a professor of Christian ethics and a United Church of Christ minister. Bob Fitch’s mother, Marion Weeks Dewitt, was a homemaker. In 1950 the family moved to Berkeley, California, where Fitch became involved with socially committed families of Communist and Socialist organizers, was active in the folk music scene, and interned at the community-supported radio station KPFA. He graduated from Berkeley High School in 1957. In 1961 Bob Fitch graduated from Lewis and Clarke College in Portland, Oregon with a Bachelor's of Science in Psychology and then received a Bachelor's and Master's in Divinity from the Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley, California. While in the seminary Fitch read James Baldwin's The Fire Next Time and had an experience where he felt the need to somehow be artistically involved in portraying the elements emphasized in the book. He settled on photography as the best medium to achieve this goal. Fitch was ordained as a United Church of Christ minister in 1965. After graduating from the Pacific School of Religion Fitch interned with the Glide Foundation in San Francisco, where he was a community organizer working with street gangs, the homeless, hippies, and gay, lesbian, and transsexual groups. The Glide Foundation asked Bob Fitch to do photography for books published by them. Without any formal training in photography, Fitch studied the works of Dorothea Lange and Henri Cartier-Bresson, talked to professional photographers, took free courses on photography, and began documenting the groups he was working with in San Francisco. In 1965 Fitch was invited to be a staff photographer for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference during the civil rights movement. He worked in areas and situations where it was considered to be too dangerous for African-American journalists to operate. His role was to take photographs and file stories, acting as a wire service for national African-American newspapers and magazines. Fitch photographed voter Guide to the Bob Fitch M1994 2 Photography Archive M1994 registration, voting, and recruitment and training for African-American political candidates during the first election following the passage of the Voting Rights Act in 1965. He also documented the everyday lives of African-Americans, including marches, demonstrations, meetings, SCLC's organizing efforts in Chicago, Martin Luther King Jr.'s People-to-People tours in Alabama, and the Meredith Mississippi March Against Fear. In 1968 Bob Fitch moved back to Oakland, California where he continued to document and be involved in social justice movements. After Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination in April 1968, Fitch photographed Coretta Scott King and her family during the funeral and afterwards. Discouraged after attending an interracial retreat on nonviolence in the Santa Cruz Mountains which devolved into divisiveness, a vision of Martin Luther King Jr., appeared to Fitch and told him "Bob! Continue the work!" The next day Fitch made a list of leaders in social justice movements that he admire and respected. He wanted to document them before they too were killed, beaten, or jailed. These activists included David Harris and Joan Baez, Cesar Chavez, Dorothy Day, Daniel and Philip Berrigan, and Pete Seeger. He also sought to document cultural and spiritual movements including hippies, communes and the anti-war movement. Fitch documented political campaigns and local and national politicians including Ron Dellums, Warren Widener, Betty Ann Bruno, Shirley Chisholm, and Andrew Young. He also photographed journalists, photographers, activists, clergy, and artists including: Cornell Capa, Don Devereaux, Betita Martinez, Evan Golder, Robert Olmstead, and Ali Luterman. In his photography he emphasized the role of the rank and file as agents for social change and he was propelled by a desire to not just observe movements but to be deeply involved in them. In 1978 Fitch started working for California’s Department of Housing and Community Development, where he helped develop affordable housing in rural communities. After retiring in 1996 Fitch continued his involvement in social justice movements by working with the Resource Center for Nonviolence in Santa Cruz and travelling to Israel and Palestine, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, Brazil, and Mexico. He also worked for immigrants' rights and for Luis Alejo's campaign for California Assembly. Bob Fitch died of complications from Parkinson's disease on April 29, 2016 in Watsonville, California. Bob Fitch wrote several books, his photographs have been featured in books and in exhibits, including at the Smithsonian Institution.

  • Antigua and Barbuda an Annotated Critical Bibliography
    Antigua and Barbuda an annotated critical bibliography by Riva Berleant-Schiller and Susan Lowes, with Milton Benjamin Volume 182 of the World Bibliographical Series 1995 Clio Press ABC Clio, Ltd. (Oxford, England; Santa Barbara, California; Denver, Colorado) Abstract: Antigua and Barbuda, two islands of Leeward Island group in the eastern Caribbean, together make up a single independent state. The union is an uneasy one, for their relationship has always been ambiguous and their differences in history and economy greater than their similarities. Barbuda was forced unwillingly into the union and it is fair to say that Barbudan fears of subordination and exploitation under an Antiguan central government have been realized. Barbuda is a flat, dry limestone island. Its economy was never dominated by plantation agriculture. Instead, its inhabitants raised food and livestock for their own use and for provisioning the Antigua plantations of the island's lessees, the Codrington family. After the end of slavery, Barbudans resisted attempts to introduce commercial agriculture and stock-rearing on the island. They maintained a subsistence and small cash economy based on shifting cultivation, fishing, livestock, and charcoal-making, and carried it out under a commons system that gave equal rights to land to all Barbudans. Antigua, by contrast, was dominated by a sugar plantation economy that persisted after slave emancipation into the twentieth century. Its economy and goals are now shaped by the kind of high-impact tourism development that includes gambling casinos and luxury hotels. The Antiguan government values Barbuda primarily for its sparsely populated lands and comparatively empty beaches. This bibliography is the only comprehensive reference book available for locating information about Antigua and Barbuda.

The Woodstock Music and Art Fair in August 1969 featured a galaxy of performers who had contributed significantly ot the alternative zeitgeist that spoke of peace and love in ways that may sound corny now. The peace and love of the Sixties was grounded in a strong antiwar sensibility and a sense of collective solidarity against the American war in Vietnam. When Joan Baez spoke about her husband – draft resister David Harris – introducing “The Ballad of Joe Hill”, the link between the struggles of the working class and the antiwar struggles of the day was apparent.

TilE VIETNAM WAR ON TRIAL: TilE COURT-MARTIAL OF DR. HOWARD B. LEVY ROBERT N. STRASSFELD• This Article examines the history of a Vietnam War-era case: the court-martial of Dr. Howard B. Levy. The U.S. Army court-martialled Dr. Levy for refusing to teach medicine to Green Beret soldiers and for criticizing both the Green Berets and American involvement in Vietnam. Although the Supreme Court eventually upheld Levy's convicti on in Parkerv. Levy, ill decision obscures the political content of Levy's court-martial and its relationshipto the war. At the court-martialLe vy sought to defend himself by showing that his disparaging remarks about the Green Berets, identifying them as "killers of peasants and murderers of women and children," were true and that his refusal to teach medicine to Green Beret soldiers was dictated by medical ethics, given the ways in which the soldiers would misuse their medical knowledge.

  • Institute for the Study of Nonviolence in Carmel Valley in 1965, 24 Year-Old Folk Singer Joan Baez Was Already a Near-Icon on the Ameri- Can Folk Music Scene
    THE CARMEL VALLEY HISTORIAN A PUBLICATION OF THE CARMEL VALLEY HISTO RICAL SOCIETY Volume 29, Issue 1 MARCH 2015 Remembering Joan Baez in Carmel Valley—1965 By Elizabeth Barratt, CVHS Historian By the time she opened her controversial Institute for the Study of Nonviolence in Carmel Valley in 1965, 24 year-old folk singer Joan Baez was already a near-icon on the Ameri- can folk music scene. Her 1959 appearance at the Newport Folk Festival, an album contract with Vanguard Records, and a 1960 concert at Carnegie Hall had drawn the fans. Her cover image and story in the November 23, 1962 Time magazine established her title as Queen of Folk Music. In 1963, she joined Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in the March on Washing- ton, D.C. Closer to home, her September 1964 concert at the Monterey Fairgrounds drew an audience of 5,000 attendees. But her arrival in Carmel Valley was heralded, not by the adulation of loyal admirers, but with protests from locals who feared an influx of bearded, barefoot, unwashed Bohemians descending upon and disrupting the area’s rural serenity. Baez had gone into partnership with her mentor, Ira Sandperl, to create the Institute, a center where individuals could gather to study and discuss topics of nonviolence and world peace. Initial sessions had been held at her home on Miramonte Road. Anticipating an enlarged attendance, she and Sandperl applied for a use permit to conduct the school in a small, whitewashed structure that had once been the Tularcitos School, later serving as a lab for the “So Help Me Hannah” poison oak remedy, and then a shotgun shell factory.

    THE ANTI-VIETNAM WAR MOVEMENT IN CALIFORNIA PAUL DAVID TUFF HCOM 353 – CALIFORNIA AT THE CROSSROADS PROFESSOR CECILIA O’LEARY APRIL 17, 2000 THE ANTI-VIETNAM WAR MOVEMENT IN CALIFORNIA The war ain’t over . Ask somebody who fought it. The war ain’t over until you don’t have to live with it anymore. Ron Kovic, in an interview by David Harris for Rolling Stone David Harris Our War 1996 Twenty-five years ago, on April 30, 1975, America ended its two-decade reign of terror in Vietnam. The reign exacted a dreadful toll on Southeast Asia, leaving three million dead (including one million civilians1), four million wounded, “and ten million displaced from their homes. More than five million acres of forest and croplands were laid waste by eighteen million gallons of poisonous chemical herbicides. The U.S. military exploded more than fifteen million tons of bombs and ground munitions in a country less than half the size of the state of Texas.”2 “There are other reminders of the costs of [what the Vietnamese call] the American War: continuing generations of babies born deformed because of the effects of the chemical defoliant Agent Orange and farmers and children who are killed and maimed by unexploded bombs and mines.”3 In some ways, America did not fare much better. “From 1964 to 1972, the wealthiest and most powerful nation in the history of the world made a maximum military effort, with everything short of atomic bombs, to defeat a nationalist revolutionary movement in a tiny, 1 “Vietnam War” on Britannica DVD 99 (Chicago: Encyclopaedia Britannica, 1999).

ROTC men are once more found in uniform on campus, the Greek organizations have revived and dormitories filled again, and education has once more ap­ peared 'relevant.'

Gubar, 22, a participant in the civil rights movement, had filed as a conscientious objector (CO), or someone who opposed war on the basis of religious or moral beliefs. He was granted 1-A-O status, which meant that while he would not be forced to carry a weapon, he still qual- ified for noncombatant military duty. That year, Gubar was drafted— called for military service. As did many other conscientious objectors, Gubar received special training as a medic. He described the memorable day his training ended. A PERSONAL VOICE STEPHAN GUBAR “ The thing that stands out most was . being really scared, being in for- mation and listening to the names and assignments being called. The major- ity of COs I knew had orders cut for Vietnam. And even though I could hear that happening, even though I could hear that every time a CO’s name came up, the orders were cut for Vietnam, I still thought there was a possibility I might not go. Then, when they called my name and said ‘Vietnam,’. I went to a phone and I called my wife. It was a tremendous shock.” —quoted in Days of Decision While many young Americans proudly went off to war, some found ways to avoid the draft, and others simply refused to go.
