Bread and Roses School for Socialist Education

The Bread and Roses School for Socialist Education was formed in Austin, Texas, in 1975 to promote an anti-capitalist left wing agenda as an alternative to mainstream ideology. The school's charter states: "The struggle of the working people, gays, women and national minorities are a response to the injustice and oppression of the capitalist system; and eventually that system itself must be challenged." The school consisted of classes, meetings, fundraisers, guest lectures, special events, and publicity. Many of the participants were also involved in the Austin chapter of the New American Movement.
