December 3, 1964: Statement from John Lewis


December 4, 1964: Telegram from James Farmer

"The repressive acts of the University of California are clearly an attempt to halt the student activity in civil rights both locally and nationally, and CORE can view the actions of the University as no less onorous than the actions of certain southern sherrifs."

December 10, 1964: Los Angeles: Ash Grove's Ed Pearl throws a Benefit Folk Concert with Brownie McGhee & Sonny Terry, etc.

Ed Pearl wrote me 10/17/2017:
Thank you so much,  This is great, considering it was likely drawn by an occupier.  I think Hedy & Brownie and Sonny were performing in our regular show, and Sam was  do to start the next week, but came early.  I just remember it was wonderful, all around.
Warmest wishes,
Ed
