Interview with Kent Hudson : The Movement Oral History Project
Abstract/Contents
- Abstract
- Kent LeRoy Hudson graduated from Stanford University in 1966 with a bachelor’s degree in history. In this interview, recorded during the April Third Movement’s 50th anniversary reunion, he describes his upbringing and recalls his experiences as an organizer with the civil rights and anti-Vietnam War movements. In particular, he discusses working with CORE and other groups in Mississippi and Louisiana; his involvement with Friends of the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee; living in the Peace and Liberation Commune with other radicals; and dropping out of Reserve Officers’ Training Corps (ROTC) at Stanford. He also describes his work as an organizer of the Green Machine (an antiwar GI project focused on Marines at Camp Pendleton in Southern California) and his return to activism later in life.
