I Don't Know That I Ever Bought

The End Of Students For A Democratic Society Is Viewed By Me And A Lot Of Other People As A Terrible Sorry In Many Ways, Tragic Event Even Though I Participated In It And Played Some Role In It. But I Regret A Lot Of That.

I Don't Know That I Ever Bought Into The "american Dream." I Was A Child Of Privilege. I Grew Up In The '50s And It Was A Quiet Time In America, At Least On The Surface And I Grew Up In A Kind Of Feathery Bed Of Privilege.

Living In A Bubble As I Said In A Featherbed Of Privilege. That's Why Leaving Home, Leaving The Prep School And Going To The University Of Michigan In The Early '60s Was A Moment Of Awakening And To Go To A Place Like Michigan And To See Suddenly A World In Flames And The Injustices All Around Was Quite A Wake Up Call. I Lasted A Year And A Half At Michigan Before I Dropped Out And Joined The Merchant Marines And I Was A Merchant Marine For My Sophomore Year Then I Came Back To Michigan.

It Was Frederick Douglass, John Brown, Harriet Tubman, Wendell Phillips - These Were The People Who Made Abolition Real. Now, None Of You Guys Is In Favor Of Slavery, Right?

Students For A Democratic Society Was Founded In 1961.
