In 1964 in Ottawa, I was a fundraiser for SNCC - the Student Non-Violent Coordinating Committee. It went to voter registration support in Mississippi.

From ’66 to ’68, I was on the national executive of the SDS equivalent in Canada, the Student Union for Peace Action. In January of ’68, I attended the SDS conference in Chicago and visited 3444 West Congress Parkway.

In her bright coloured frock and apron, Joyce Townley took me on a tour. Her assignment was Property. She emptied the kitchen grease pit then took me to the basement where she used a hoist to get the garbage up to the street! I was sold.

Also mention of the “Port Huron Statement” of the SDS — did Joe or someone help with writing that?  Also several mentions of the “Cultural Revolution”. Police and protestor scenes were chilling ...
