But The Frat Boys Were All Frivolous

The Fact Is That In My Prep School, I Went To A Boarding School, 39 Young Men Graduated From That Prep School. Five Years Later, A Quarter Of Us Were In Sds, In Students For Democratic Society. Not Because We Were Particularly Chosen Or Because We Were As I Say, We Were Lucky But We Were Mainly Luckily To Grow Up At A Time Where This Black Freedom Movement Was Really Defining The Moral Character Of What It Meant To Be A Citizen And A Person.

So We Were Ecstatic And We Swirled Around Spontaneously, The Campus In Ann Harbor And About 4,000 Of Us Landed On The Steps Of The President Of The University Of Michigan's Home.

Frederick Douglass Ran A Primary Campaign Against [abraham Lincoln] The Second Time Around, In 1864. They Hated Him. Why'd They Hate Him? Because He Said Things Like "i Believe In White Supremacy."

The End Of Students For A Democratic Society Is Viewed By Me And A Lot Of Other People As A Terrible Sorry In Many Ways, Tragic Event Even Though I Participated In It And Played Some Role In It. But I Regret A Lot Of That.

I Was From My Little Perch In A Prep School I Saw The Civil Rights Movement And It Was Defining The Moral Dimensions Of The Time And I Was Drawn To It And I Read James Baldwin And Read Invisible Man And These Were My Touch Points. But It Was When I Got To Michigan And Saw A Bigger World, A Real World, That I Got Involved.
