Marcus Raskin (1934-2017) -  Marcus Raskin was a prominent American social critic, political activist, intellectual, author, and philosopher. He was a leading figure in the Vietnam anti-war movement and the co-founder, with former State Department official Richard Barnet, of the progressive think tank, the Institute for Policy Studies (IPS), in Washington, D.C.

 

A child prodigy on the piano, Raskin gave up a music career after receiving undergraduate and law degrees at the University of Chicago. Moving to Washington, D.C. in 1958, Raskin served as legislative counsel to a group of liberal congressmen. In 1961, he became assistant on national security affairs and disarmament as a member of the Special Staff of the National Security Council under President Kennedy’s national security adviser McGeorge Bundy. In disagreement with the Kennedy administration’s Cold War policies, Raskin left his government post to co-found IPS in 1963.

 

The Vietnam War became a major area of concentration for Raskin and IPS. With noted scholar Bernard Fall, Raskin co-authored the Vietnam Reader, which was used in teach-ins against the war across the country. In 1967, he co-authored with Arthur Waskow, a colleague at IPS, "A Call to Resist Illegitimate Authority," which urged support for those who resisted the draft and the Vietnam War. The "Call to Resist" was signed by thousands of people, and because of it Raskin and Waskow took part in turning in 1,000 draft cards to the government. In 1968, Raskin was indicted -— along with William Sloane Coffin, Dr. Benjamin Spock, Michael Ferber and Mitchell Goodman—for conspiracy to aid resistance to the draft. The group became known as the “Boston Five.” Raskin was acquitted.

 

One of Raskin’s children is Jamie Raskin, who was elected to the U.S. House of Representatives from Maryland’s Eighth Congressional District in 2016 and was reelected in 2018.

Betty Garman Robinson -- Betty Garman Robinson moved to Washington DC in 1965 to help run the SNCC office, then headed by Marion Barry, also new to town as National Chairman of SNCC. A graduate of Skidmore College and an early member of SNCC, Betty was already a dedicated civil rights activist and quickly became a key organizer for various initiatives of the “Free DC Movement” which was headed by Barry. Home Rule for DC was the overriding local civil rights issue in the 60s and 70s for Washingtonians. Later Betty assumed leadership positions in grassroots efforts to end the Vietnam War, including chairing the DC Committee to Defend the Conspiracy during the 1969-70 trial of antiwar leaders in Chicago, and her work in organizing a 1971 conference of Vietnamese, Cambodian and American women in Canada. Betty remains an active participant in the fight for racial justice, working with the anti-racist organization SURJ (Standing Up for Racial Justice) Hands on the Freedom Plow, published in 2010, is a collection of personal accounts by Betty and 51 other women about their experiences working in the civil rights movement.

Larry Rubin - Larry Rubin is a life-long activist born into a progressive, secular Jewish family. Growing up in the McCarthy years, he attended the 1958 March on Washington and other political events as a teenager. While a student at Antioch in the early 60s he visited the SNCC Albany Project in Southwest Georgia, which was the immediate spur to his involvement in the civil rights movement, claiming “I never thought of not going South—It’s what we do.” He took his first job in Washington in 1962 as a community organizer at Southeast Neighborhood House. After other organizing stints in Kentucky and Mississippi, Larry returned permanently to Washington, DC, just as the major push for DC voting rights and Home Rule was gaining momentum. Working with SNCC leaders Marion Barry and Ivanhoe Donaldson, he participated in this successful campaign of the mid-to-late 70s. Larry also worked in the labor movement for many years as a lobbyist for United Electrical Workers and served four terms on the Takoma Park (MD) City Council.

Gerry Schwinn – With an initial interest in civil rights and nuclear testing, Gerry Schwinn, a Baltimore native, found his way to a conference in Port Huron, Michigan in 1962 that proved to be seminal. The Port Huron Statement launched the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), a key organization in the development of the anti-war movement and the New Left. Later that same year Gerry experienced the Cuban Missile Crisis up close in the military town of Hampton, Virginia, where the Norfolk Naval Base “almost sank from military activity.” Needing a break, he joined the Peace Corps and spent 1963-65 in Nigeria, returning to Washington, DC just as the big anti-Vietnam War marches organized by SDS and other groups were beginning. Most of Gerry’s anti-war work was done through the Committee of Returned Volunteers (CRV) founded by returnees of Peace Corps, International Volunteer Service (IVS), American Friends Service Committee (AFSC) among others. Gerry and John McAuliff of AFSC were founding members of this group, which soon came out in opposition to the Vietnam War on the premise that it undermined democratic traditions. CRV made history in 1970 when, during a massive demonstration after the invasion of Cambodia, several members took over the Peace Corps office for 36 hours and displayed a huge Viet Cong flag on the building within sight of the White House. Gerry Schwinn remains a committed activist in Washington, DC.
