"In the spring of 1967, the word 'resistance' was in the air... A large number of activists that spring felt that they had moved into a deeper and riskier commitment, a move that warranted a new term to replace 'dissent' and 'protest'. When David Harris, Dennis Sweeney, Lenny Heller, and Steve Hamilton met in April to plan a mass draft card turn-in for the fall, they named themselves simply by audaciously, 'the resistance'." ~excerpt from the back cover of The Resistance
