Kathy Boudin

In fact, the Weathermen eventually created only three significant, active collectives of the Students for a Democratic Society; one in California, one in the Midwest, and one in New York City. The New York City collective was led by Jacobs and Terry Robbins, and included Ted Gold, Kathy Boudin(Columbia University Professor), Cathy Wilkerson (Robbins' girlfriend), and Diana Oughton.

Students for a Democratic Society started as

Intercollegiate Socialist Society

See also: Intercollegiate Socialist Society

The I.S.S. was founded in 1905 by Upton Sinclair, Walter Lippmann, Clarence Darrow, and Jack London with the stated purpose of throwing "light on the world-wide movement of industrial democracy known as socialism."[2]

On January 1, 1960 the SLID changed its name to the Students for a Democratic Society and began to take a more radical direction. In July 1962 Michael Harrington, then chair, and Tom Kahn clashed with Tom Hayden and Alan Haber over their Port Huron Statement, in particular its

suggestion that the labor movement was "too quiescent, to be counted with enthusiasm" as an agent for change,

espousal of participatory democracy and dislike of formal offices, seen as potentially undemocratic and lacking accountability), and

failure to explicitly exclude communists from its vision of the New Left.

By 1965, SDS had separated from the LID, but it ended national activity in 1969, after it had been taken over by Maoist groups, some of which advocated and committed political terrorism.[9]
