Abstract:

Papers of social activist and academic sociologist Sidney Peck, documenting his involvement in the anti-Vietnam war movement; anti-nuclear, disarmament, and peace movements; as well as his recorded discussions with labor union shop stewards, made in the course of research on working-class consciousness for his University of Wisconsin doctoral dissertation (1959) and subsequent book, The Rank and File Leader (1963). Over half of the collection consists of FBI files obtained under the Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) and materials relating to hearings and court cases involving Peck which grew out of the FOIA. Correspondence, clippings, speeches, conference reports and resolutions, oral history interviews and other tape recordings, posters, and photographs constitute the remainder of the collection.
