As the subtitle, A Memoir...of Sorts, suggests, this is not a traditional rendering of a memoir, filled with all the names and events that defined a singular life. Instead, the focus is on those movements, organizations and institutions through which I attempted to pursue peace and justice. Thus, the chapters and contents are arranged to highlight what led me to that involvement. Also integral to each chapter are the ways in which certain historical moments created the conditions that engaged the conscience and consciousness of myriad individuals and groups. To the extent that I was one of many participants in these undertakings, this memoir represents an attempt to make sense of the multiple meanings and efficacy of our collective efforts. Although what follows reflects my own experiences, it is intended to be enlightening and explanatory about the wider context. Hence, it should be of interest to those wanting to learn more about these times, as well as for those who still fervently desire peace and justice in this country and the world.
