Underground: The Life of a Political Fugitive
Date: 4/28/1973Call Number: KP 007Format: 1/4 7 1/2 ipsProducers: Nick EglesonProgram: WBAICollection: Anti-War
This is a story about “Tom”, who in 1969 burned the 1A draft records of 34 boards in Chicago, and how he lived on the run for the years following. The story is told through interviews with Tom, his family and various voices from his small-town Minnesota upbringing.
Tom’s soft underground experience is very different from the experience of serious clandestine political groups of the time, but nonetheless informative. For example, Tom enjoyed freedom of white privilege, i.e. carrying no ID and hitchhiking in cars with busted headlights and carrying dope.

Mark Essex
Dave Lampell delivers a short program documenting the shootout in New Orleans in 1974 where Mark Essex, a 23 year old Vietnam veteran killed police officers. The area was closed off, and calling on backup for reinforcements, police numbers were in the hundreds. They believed there to be more than one sniper. They shot Mark Essex over one hundred times, killing him the first night of the shootout. The police also took out many of their own in an insane display of force. The rest of the program gives a history of Mark Essex’s life in Kansas and suffering racism in the military. Great quotes about the racist State from his mother and sister.

Raza Unida Convention - Post Election Interview with Jose Angel Gutierrez (Press Conference)
This is an interview with Jose Angel Gutierrez from the Raza Unida Convention after the election. The questions posed focus on: What was the reason for not endorsing a Presidential or Vice presidential candidate? According to Gutierrez, the idea was proposed by two Chicano delegates who refused to be bought or sold. “We like ourselves much better! We have the beginning of a structure, we got this far unorganized, now we’re united. The Congress will give power to any issues which will come up. We will not accept concessions, we are in resistance even if our movement may be undetected. “
