Series III: Students for a Democractic Society (SDS), 1965-1969

Scope and content:

This series is divided into two sub-series of SDS materials. Series III.1: SDS National and Regional Materials includes original copies of the Port Huron Statement (founding manifesto of Students for a Democratic Society) and the SDS constitution. It also features agendas and discussion papers from SDS national conferences and NY Regional SDS meetings attended by Columbia student activists. Series III.2: Radical Education Project (REP) contains readings and pamphlets created and distributed as part of the Radical Education Project (REP). REP was set up to get people like Gedal into the SDS fold.

Materials were re-housed from individual sleeves in binders and the original order provided by Gedal was maintained as closely as possible.
