Interview with Jeanne Friedman : The Movement Oral History Project
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Jeanne Friedman (MA Political Science, 1964; PhD Political Science, 1969) talks about the Graduate Coordinating Committee and graduate student organizing at Stanford, her participation in campus antiwar protests, and her role as an informal spokesperson for the movement. Reflecting on the origins and evolution of the April Third Movement, she recalls challenging members of the Stanford Board of Trustees during a student-trustee forum in March 1969, a confrontation with trustee John Gardner, the sit-in at the Old Union, and the protest at SRI’s Hanover Street facility that resulted in her arrest. Friedman also describes supporting the Free Speech Movement at the University of California, Berkeley; teaching for the Free University; distributing the radical publications, the Midpeninsula Observer and the Indochina War Bulletin; and the vibrant community of “English Department people, hippies, and the man who gave Ken Kesey acid” that lived near her on Homer Lane.
