Dave Dellinger discusses the Weather Underground (12/01)

Shortly after entering Columbia University in 1965, David Gilbert became the founding chair of the school’s Vietnam Committee.

By the fall of 1966, he was inspired by the impact of the Black Panther Party on the national scene, and had witnessed the upsurge of militance among Native Americans, Chicanos, Puerto Ricans, and Asians. These movements have exerted a major influence on his actions ever since. read more

Kissinger denied everything, of course, and said his host was woefully misinformed, yet declined to show up for a BBC roundtable discussion scheduled for later that day. read more
