Biographical History
"The New Left in Ann Arbor" is the title given to an oral history project conducted by the Contemporary History Project, an independent, non-profit research and education organization. The project was administered by Ellen Fishman and Bret Eynon. The fifty interviews represent only a portion of the roughly 175 individuals interviewed in an effort to document the social and political turmoil of the 1960s. Although many of the interviews concern protests against the war in Vietnam, the anti-war movement was only one of several grass-roots socio-political movements to surface in the United States during the 1960s. Of equal importance were the civil rights, alternative culture, ecology, and women's liberation movements. In many cases, those active in one movement were also active in one or more of the others. Though there were differences in style and substance, activists from all these movements worked together in a loose coalition known simply as 'the Movement'. Ann Arbor played a crucial role in the history of the Movement, from beginning to end.
Conducted by the Contemporary History Project, and administered by Ellen Fishman and Bret Eynon, entitled, "The New Left in Ann Arbor."
