Students for Democratic Society Papers, 1958-1970. Glen Rock, N.J.: Microfilm

The Students for a Democratic Society in the sixties were considered a radical, liberal group with
on campus chapters across the United States. At the University of Georgia, the participation of
the group ranged between 15 to 75 members throughout the decade. Despite the small
participation in comparison to the University population as a whole, the SDS was cited with
backing both the Vietnam protest in 1970 and the 1968 March for Coed Equality.
