Professor Stuart Ewen's "Political Objects (22)" Appears on 'HiLoBROW' Website
One in a 25-part series of nonfiction stories about objects of political significance, Political Objects (22), by Distinguished Professor Stuart Ewen of the Film & Media Department, recently appeared on HiLoBROW, an online publication. A lapel button which displayed the insignia of SNCC (the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee) is recalled by Ewen as a 'badge' worn on his jacket during the time known as Freedom Summer, a time during which he served as an organizer in the civil rights movement in Mississippi, beginning in June of 1964 and continuing into early 1965.
