Mike Elliot: “We made the connection with our struggles here and Palestinian people. We read about Palestine in Black Panther papers and others. We were exploited and oppressed here, and yet our union dues was going to buy Israeli bonds. This was a no-no for us! We had to fight!
Jerome Scott on student and labor organizing at that time (in 1973): “The students were inspired by the workers and the workers were inspired by the students. It was the best time for us to work together. With all oppressed people regardless of the where they studied or worked”
