Weather Underground Organization
The
Weather Underground Organization (WUO) was a clandestine, militant
anti-racist organization that aimed to overthrow US imperialism. It
was formed in 1969 by members of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS)
following internal ideological struggle within SDS. Aligning itself
with the anti-war movement and supporting Third World liberation
struggles, the WUO staged a campaign of numerous bombings and other
direct actions from the late 196s to mid-1970s, in solidarity with
liberation struggles in Asia, Africa, and Latin America, and in the
United States. The organization published numerous pamphlets,
communiques, and periodicals and a book Prairie Fire: the Politics of Revolutionary Anti-Imperialism. The
organization disbanded in 1976. In addition to the book, the collection
includes monographs from the WUO, communiques, and all issues of the
periodical Osawatomie.
