Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Vivian Holley (1968 BA History; 1969 MA Education) speaks about her experiences as a Stanford student during the late 1960s. She recalls how living in the co-ed Grove House, with Professor Mark Mancall as the resident faculty fellow, inaugurated her activism, describing the Grove House community as “a catalyst for ideas and for people.” She goes on to describe her participation in the Applied Electronics Laboratory sit-in and her preparations to participate in the Poor People’s Campaign in Washington, DC, as part of an interracial group of Stanford students. She also speaks about the experience of women as activists and leaders during the era, her work as a draft counselor and the director of a drug crisis center, and her decision to attend law school. Holley concludes the interview by describing her work in the area of family law counseling services or family mediation and reflecting on how her experiences at Stanford impacted her career.
