Nixon for Governor, Ad Protesting His Attack on 5th Amendment, 1962
Scope and Contents
This series includes materials from San Franciscans for Academic Freedom in Education (SAFE.) Records comprise correspondence, fund raising actions, bank statements, mailing lists, and a survey made of subpoenaed teachers. Also included are correspondence, drafts of articles and reports, and other materials related to Bierman's activities with anti-HUAC groups, as well as printed materials from these groups. There are two additional folders on films: HUAC's "Operation Abolition," and a proposed video series for PBS titled "The Vocal Generation" (not produced), and several folders of clippings collected by Bierman, covering the years 1959-1966. Additonal materials pertain to other civil liberties campaigns from the early 1960s in which Bierman participated concurrently with his anti-HUAC activities. These campaigns included Californians Against State Executions (1960-1961); an ad opposing Richard Nixon's campaign for California governor (1962); support to Pacifica Foundation (KPFA), an investigative target of the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee (1963), and support to victims given harsh sentences in the San Francisco sit-in trials (1964).
