Abstract

The Rutgers Grass Roots - Progressive Activist Files span the period 1921 to 1993, inclusive, while the bulk of the collection covers the years 1979-1993 and comprise the records of two student activists, Sue Kozel and Chris Berzinski, who continued their activist involvement after graduating from the University. Most of the files in the collection were created by Kozel and Berzinski as they became involved in numerous protest issues at Rutgers University. This collection is comprised primarily of textual records such as broadsides, correspondence, leglislation, minutes, newsletters, newspaper clippings, pamphlets, press releases, reports and resolutions. Material in other formats consists of a day book, oversize chart, and photographs. Documentation in the collection concern the activities of the Friends of the Rutgers Ecological Preserve (FREP), effects of academic reorganization at Rutgers, and the Coalition in Solidarity with South African Liberation (CISSAL), among others.
