I enjoyed Sorkin’s film and appreciate the background on Cason. I see she was a UT student who demonstrated to integrate movie theatres in Austin. Some years ago our local Cinema Club brought this film about those demonstrations to our public library: https://peopleshistoryintexas.org/documentaries/standins/ The
 demonstrators planned their strategy at the Faith and Life Community. JWM is mentioned in the documentary. I spoke to the film maker after the showing. She had never met anyone connected to the Faith and Life Community. We corresponded for a time and I sent
 the film to someone with the archives in Chicago. —Diann McCabe

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.

We watched this Netflix movie about Chicago in 1968.  Was good.  Tom Hayden was one of the defendants — wasn’t he somewhat connected to the Christian Faith and Life Community in Austin?  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 ...  
Watched with daughter, son in law and grand daughter.  I vaguely recall an evening going to Lincoln Park and sitting in on something about guerilla theater.
