Eric M. Mann

Eric M. Mann, born in Brooklyn in 1942, was a civil-rights and antiwar organizer associated with CORE, SDS and the Weathermen. His Boston English High School case involved four days of pretrial custody and an appealed misdemeanor conviction. In a separate case, he was imprisoned for assault and battery during the September 1969 attack on Harvard’s Center for International Affairs, a target of anti-imperialist protest. He later described serving a year and a half, including nine months at Concord. After prison, he wrote about George Jackson and continued organizing; he helped establish the Labor/Community Strategy Center in Los Angeles.
