College and Career: Time at Lehman, Part 2 Subject The topic of the resource Ross, Suzanne Description An account of the resource In this recording, part of a larger video memoir project, lifetime activist and educator Suzanne Ross speaks about her time teaching at Lehman College in the late 1960s and early 1970s, part 2 of 4. From Suzanne: "After the Columbia experience, I began teaching at Lehman College, and spent the next five years completely immersed in radicalizing the students I worked with, and disrupting regular activities at the college. The focus was on demanding that attention be paid to the racism on campus in hiring, firing, and curriculum, and on opposing the war in Vietnam, insisting that the college take an active role in addressing the horrors of that war. I left Lehman, having been rejected for tenure, the simplest way to fire faculty. After a long battle by the students, along with many prestigious supporters such the New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU), Congresswoman Bella Abzug, Professor Martin Duberman and many college teachers across New York City, we lost the battle to reinstate me. I did not want to continue the union appeal and the NYCLU appeal as they both involved considerable bureaucratic effort and I was more interested in street and movement action. I, therefore, instead, went underground with Weather."

Rap Brown (Imam Jamil Al Amin). Met Mark Rudd and J.J. who were in SDS and provided me with the entrée into the Weather Underground two years later. I became profoundly radicalized, by the two issues which the students were fighting about: the “Apartheid” gym scheduled to be built in Morningside Park, as part of the Columbia gentrification plan, and the IDA research being conducted at Columbia which was part of the overall Vietnam War effort that Columbia was secretly aiding. Both challenges were successful and inspired me to become a militant activist."

From Suzanne: "My first job as a psychologist was on the locked psychiatric adolescent wards of a city hospital. It was an encounter with the real world as it represented the majority of the population—poor, significantly people of color, and seemingly powerless members of this society. I was shocked by the indifference and cruelty of the public institutions with this population. My dream had been to help people, especially young people, in their struggle to grow up in this society. This society’s goal, on the other hand, for the young people was to have them adjust to society’s expectations and to conform to them regardless of any consideration of the young people’s hopes and dreams. I first took on the challenge of the negative agenda of the institution. I fought for the young people’s rights, I acknowledged the enormous challenge before them, and affirmed the reality of their experiences. I recognized that the challenges were too systemic and huge and I increasingly focused on the destructiveness of this society, politically and psychologically, trying to find a way to make my contribution with the opportunities I had."

Family History and Childhood: Developing Strength and Thinking Subject The topic of the resource Ross, Suzanne Description An account of the resource In this recording, part of a larger video memoir project, lifetime activist and educator Suzanne Ross reflects on what has been significant for her development of strength and dialectical thinking throughout her life—from her time on the kibbutz in Palestine to her adventures with dialectical thinking as an adult and political activist. From Suzanne: "Born in 1937 living with an extended family on maternal and paternal sides in Antwerp Belgium. By 1940 the Nazis invade and most of the family tried and even succeeded in leaving. My parents, brother, and I along with different aunts, uncles, and cousins parted ways with some headed for Portugal, some for Palestine, and other remaining in France or Belgium. Traveling for about a year from France to Spain to North Africa, to Portugal and eventually Mozambique, we found a haven in Mozambique for three years, until the colonial power (Portugal) gave us a deadline by which we had to leave. This was now 1944 and we were able to go to Palestine where we remained for a year before we were able to get the visa we needed to go to the US, my parents’ dream. We arrived in the US on December 25, 1945 and soon became part of an orthodox Jewish community in Queens, Far Rockaway. My brother and I attended the Yeshiva, I loved the chaos of this school, with the students able to challenge the adults, and impose a certain student power. In addition to the students ability to disrupt regular routines, the Hebrew education was excellent, especially the training in Talmudic logic and debate which served me in good stead for many subsequent decades of schooling. By the time I went to public high school I was increasingly losing interest in religion and focused more and more on intellectual interests and wanting to go to an elite college."

Family History and Childhood: From Birth to Today, An Overview, Part 2 Subject The topic of the resource Ross, Suzanne Description An account of the resource In this recording, part of a larger video memoir project, lifetime activist and educator Suzanne Ross provides an overview of her life, part 2 of 2. From Suzanne: "I was born in 1937 in Antwerp Belgium. By 1940 the Nazis invaded the country and my parents, brother, and I separated from our extended family to find sanctuary. We went from country to country in Europe for a full year, before finally finding a haven in Mozambique for 3 years. We lost this haven in 1944, and we were forced to leave by the colonial Portuguese government. We immediately got, I think through my father’s work in Mozambique with the British and US intelligence services, entrance into Palestine as the British were the colonial power at that time for Palestine. My parents did not want to stay in Palestine as living conditions were difficult and so when we were able to get a visa for the US we left. No sadness about leaving the Holy Land, or dreaming to live in a Jewish state, only regrets about leaving our family once again. We arrived in the US on December 25, 1945 and soon became part of an orthodox Jewish community in Far Rockaway, Queens. My brother and I attended a Yeshiva. Though I enjoyed being a cherished member of this new school and community, I was a very religious pre teen and loved Jewish studies, particular the debating culture, by the time I was 16 my interests changed. I was now attending a public high school, was increasingly losing interest in religion and was much more focused on intellectual interests and hoping to attend an elite college. I went to school at Barnard College, though experiencing a meltdown as a result of a difficult struggle to become independent of my parents, I recovered enough to becoming deeply engaged in studying psychology and graduate college, and then a PhD program at Columbia, began working as a psychologist, and was immediately horrified by the inhumane, racist, classist, and male supremacist services offered to young people. I became alienated from the mental health field and began seeing the limitations of psychological approaches to helping people in crisis. As the US War on Vietnam was commanding more and more of my attention, I became increasingly politicized about the world. The centrality of the civil rights movement in this country was educating me about racism and horrifying me into standing up against it. Just around that time, the student uprising at Columbia took off. I was totally into it, not able to stay away from the campus, nor work on my dissertation, while learning at a rapid pace. After the Columbia experience, I began teaching at Lehman College, for the next five years. My campus activism, organizing dozens and dozens of students, sometimes even hundreds, and in the process disrupting “business as usual” at the campus, to the chagrin of many of the administrators and faculty. I could not be fired since nothing I did was challengeable until I came up for tenure where more issues, even if irrelevant to my teaching could be raised. I was, predictably, then fired. A long battle by students and supporters such as the New York Civil Liberties Union (NYCLU), Congresswoman Bella Abzug, Professor Martin Duberman, and CUNY professors across the city ensued. At Lehman the Chairperson of the Math Department and Philosophy Department as well as the Academic Freedom Committee also stood up for me. I definitely had a shot at winning an appeal but did not want to continue the union appeal or the NYCLU appeal as they both involved considerable bureaucratic effort which I didn’t think was worth the effort. Instead, I decided to go underground with Weather. I had been a supporter of the organization since 1970 but wanted to now make a fulltime commitment. Within a few years of my “disappearing” the Weather Underground dissolved. I was upset by this dissolution but after a few years of addressing survival issues and intense study and review of errors made, I decided to continue international solidarity work. I went back to working with the Vietnamese who were dealing with post-war challenges, such as the struggle over the Pol Pot regime, the invasion of China, and the horrendous aftermath of the damage caused by the war. Having left CISPES and no longer attached to a Vietnam-based organization, I accepted an invitation to join the leadership of Clergy and Laity Concerned (CALC). I worked with that organization for the following year deeply immersed in the struggle to establish a leadership role for the people of color members and trying to engage the organization in supporting our political prisoners. Though CALC did not take on an active role in political prisoner work it did offer endorsements of support campaigns, including writing letters of support for people such as Alan Berkman. This meant that I became more engaged in political prisoner work, supporting in particular not only Alan Berkman, but Mumia Abu-Jamal, and Dhoruba Bin-Wahad."
