Interview with Georgia Kelly : The Movement Oral History Project
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Georgia Kelly is a former employee of the Stanford Research Institute. In this interview, she talks about how meeting intellectually and politically engaged Stanford graduate students led to her activism against the Vietnam War and recalls her involvement with various campus and local groups, including the Free University, Students for a Democratic Society, and the Stanford Committee for Peace in Vietnam. She discusses her decision to take non-classified materials out of the Stanford Research Institute and provide them to a local newspaper editor and a related raid on her apartment by the Federal Bureau of Investigation. She also shares memories of draft counseling with the Anti-Draft Union; protests at the Oakland Induction Center; the gender dynamics within the antiwar movement; her career in music; and her peace activism work through the Praxis Peace Institute.
