{"value"=>"<p>This series consists of interviews Kisseloff conducted with activists for his book <span class=\"title\">Generation on Fire: Voices of protest from the 1960s</span>. Most interviews were held over multiple sessions and the recordings are arranged sequentially using Kisseloff’s own alphanumeric designations. The majority of the of the interviews are undated. The interviews touch on many of the key issues of the 1960s including the push for civil rights for African Americans and gays; the anti-war movement; the organization of unions; folk and rock music; and communal living.</p> <p>Though only 15 people were profiled in the published book, Kisseloff interviewed 28 people, including ancillary interviews with the children of Paul Krassner, Gloria Richardson, Shoshana Rihn, Marilyn Webb, and Lee Weiner. Substantial interviews that were not published include Yippie and political activist Stew Albert; Vietnam soldier turned peace activist Jan Barry; Weather Underground member Bernardine Dohrn; civil rights activist Bob Ross; gay rights activist Jim Fouratt; author Marty Jezer; anti-war activist Shoshana Rihn, who was formerly known as Patricia Swinton; musician Happy Traum; basketball player and sportscaster Bill Walton; and feminist Marilyn Webb.
