Interview with Randolph Nelson Bonner : The Movement Oral History Project
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Randolph Nelson Bonner (1968 BA Art), the son of a Stanford faculty member, speaks about growing up around the Stanford campus, his decision to attend Stanford, and his participation in the antiwar movement. He reflects on how he struggled internally to justify pursuing a college degree and studying art given the world situation, and he shares memories of the sit-in at the President’s Office in 1966, the Old Union sit-in, the Applied Electronics Laboratory takeover, and the Hanover Street protest against SRI. Bonner also describes his involvement with the Peninsula Observer after he graduated from Stanford and shares the story of how he resisted the draft by showing up for his draft physical at the Oakland Induction Center in full body paint.
