RDRA -- Revolutionary Democratic Republic of Antioch
In 1964, a group of students at Antioch College decided to celebrate May Day by overthrowing the Community Government, CG. The Spring had been very politically active with a major civil rights demonstration in Yellow Springs on March 14th led by SNCC and ACRE (see web site www.acre.siegel-memorial.org). I've put together this web site for all to remember the Spring of 1964 at Antioch --- Jay Siegel
What follows are a few documents from that mock revolution:
On May Day students, led by the Antioch Liberation Front, ALF, from their guerrilla base in the Glen, overthrew CG establishing the Revolutionary Democratic Republic of Antioch, the RDRA.
