Abstract:
Papers of Leonard Cizewski, a Madison, Wisconsin peace activist, primarily documenting his activities for Trade for Peace Inc. and the Dane County Pledge of Resistance, two groups that protested U.S. policy in Nicaragua after the imposition of the U.S. trade embargo in 1985 upon the importation of stamps, coffee, and handicrafts. In 1987 government officials raided Cizewski's home and confiscated files and goods; thereafter the protest concentrated on First Amendment Rights issues. Trade for Peace ceased operation with the end of the embargo in 1990.
