Abstract

[First paragraph]

A fine documentary film of the same name, minus the subtitle, appeared in 2000 and I've been using clips of it in my survey history of the 1960s at Brown University ever since. Helen Garvy, the film's creator, was one of the salt-of-the-earth staff members of Students for a Democratic Society for much of the 1960s, the people who took low wages when they got any at all, little public credit for their intensive labors, but kept things moving, publications coming out, memberships recorded, organizers on the road, conventions planned and so on. SDS fell apart in 1969 but it was the denizens of the thankless task who had kept it together until the final calamity.
