Tom Kahn and the Fight for Democracy: a Political Portrait and Personal Recollection
Tom Kahn and the Fight for Democracy: A Political Portrait and Personal Recollection Rachelle Horowitz Editor’s Note: The names of Tom Kahn and Rachelle Horowitz should be better known than they are. Civil rights leader John Lewis certainly knew them. Recalling how the 1963 March on Washington was organised he said, ‘I remember this young lady, Rachelle Horowitz, who worked under Bayard [Rustin], and Rachelle, you could call her at three o'clock in the morning, and say, "Rachelle, how many buses are coming from New York? How many trains coming out of the south? How many buses coming from Philadelphia? How many planes coming from California?" and she could tell you because Rachelle Horowitz and Bayard Rustin worked so closely together. They put that thing together.’ There were compensations, though. Activist Joyce Ladner, who shared Rachelle Horowitz's one bedroom apartment that summer, recalled, ‘There were nights when I came in from the office exhausted and ready to sleep on the sofa, only to find that I had to wait until Bobby Dylan finished playing his guitar and trying out new songs he was working on before I could claim my bed.’ Tom Kahn also played a major role in organising the March on Washington, not least in writing (and rewriting) some of the speeches delivered that day, including A. Philip Randolph’s. When he died in 1992 Kahn was praised by the Social Democrats USA as ‘an incandescent writer, organizational Houdini, and guiding spirit of America's Social Democratic community for over 30 years.’ This account of his life was written by his comrade and friend in 2005. -

Tom Hayden: Chicago Eight (Originally Edited by Andrew Lutsky and Edited for the Classroom by Cari Ladd
Tom Hayden: Chicago Eight (Originally edited by Andrew Lutsky and edited for the classroom by Cari Ladd. The longer interview is available at: http://www.pbs.org/pov/disturbingtheuniverse/interview_hayden.php) Did I expect it to be violent? Yes. The reason to expect violence was first of all experiential. That is, since the invasion of Vietnam in ’65, um, the state had been increasingly violent towards demonstrators. Uh, demonstrators had escalated from purely peaceful protest to non-violent civil disobedience to, uh, what you could call confrontations in the streets, unarmed, non-violent, but physical, uh, usually started by police attacks on demonstrations. So I had experienced that several times before Chicago ’68, and there was no reason to believe it would be otherwise. Um, it didn’t mean that one favored violence, it’s that one anticipated it and took precautions. The Justice Department under Ramsey Clark sent community relations people out, Roger Wilkins was one of them, Wesley Pomeroy was another. And they sat down with Rennie and Tom Foran in a bar and talked, and they concluded verbally and in writing that our position was reasonable and that the city should accommodate it. That there was no reason, since all kinds of youth organizations could sleep in the parks, there was no reason to deny permits to sleep in parks [even] if it meant that it was going to be chaos. They also favored permits for marching within eyesight of the Convention. And the position of the city of Chicago, which I think was backed by others in the federal government, was ‘No, no, no. -

Revolution ’67 a Film by Marylou Tibaldo-Bongiorno
n o s a e P.O .V. S Discussion Guide Revolution ’67 A Film by Marylou Tibaldo-Bongiorno www.pbs.org/pov n o s Discussion Guide | Revolution ’67 a e S Letter from the Filmmakers Newark, June 2007 Dear Colleague , We live in Newark, New Jersey. And it’s a city — like so many other American cities — that’s suffering. Most people associate Newark with its airport or its violent history. They especially remember the Newark riots of 1967, during which 26 people died, hundreds were injured and the city endured millions of dollars in property damage. People assume that it was this one event that left the city in a state from which it has never fully recovered. We started researching Newark’s past for our short thesis film at NYU’s Graduate Film School. The film, “1967,” was fictional, an interracial love story set during that hot, turbulent summer in Newark. With Spike Lee as a teacher/mentor and later as an Filmmakers Jerome Bongiorno and Marylou Tibaldo-Bongiorno executive producer, we sought to write a longer, more substantial Photo Jerome Bongiorno screenplay and needed to ask lots of questions. We also wanted to record the answers. This work became Revolution ’67 the documentary film. Our first interviews with eyewitnesses Amiri Baraka (who in ’67 was known as LeRoi Jones), former Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) president Tom Hayden (who had lived in Newark from 1964 to 68) and historians Ken Jackson and Clement Price brought many surprises. The most startling was the myth of the black sniper. -
Cultural Revolutionary I Knew Abbie Hoffman—Whom I Think
preface "I'M A B B I E HOFFMAN" Myths are the only news, and the only thing that stays true all the time is a lie. Abbie Hoffman, 1968 Cultural Revolutionary I knew Abbie Hoffman—whom I think of as the quintessential spirit of the sixties—for almost twenty years, and for much of that time I wasn't sure when he was acting, when he was for real, and when he was acting for real. I suppose that's why I have such contradictory feelings about him. Looking back at Abbie from the vantage point of the nine- ties, it seems to me that he was the first American cultural revolutionary in the age of television. He was a very funny and a very sad character who saw his life and times as a story that he could tell and retell again and again as he went along. The point, of course, was to inflate himself and deflate the established order. What most of us think of as "objective reality" didn't exist for him; while he managed to outwit it time and again, it finally caught up with him. In the end, Abbie the comedian became a tragic figure. He also embodied the sensibility called post- modern. Nowadays, postmodernism is a cliche that has lost most of its clout. But long before it entered the academic world, Abbie was a walk- ing, talking postmodernist. A great many critics have tried to define the term, but no one, it seems to me, has done it as well as the writer E. -
