 Biographical and Historical Information

Carl Oglesby was an American antiwar activist, particularly involved in anti-Vietnam War rhetoric and demonstration. Oglesby became the president for Students for a Democratic Society in 1965, serving through 1966. He was eventually expelled from the group. Oglesby was involved in politics, writing, and education for most of his life. Born in 1935, Oglesby passed away in 2011.

Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) was founded in 1959 as a branch of the League for Industrial Democracy. The SDS grew in popularity in the 1960s and was mostly known for its anti-Vietnam War stance, staging a national march in Washington, D.C. in 1965. By 1969 the SDS had split into numerous factions, and by the 1970s was no longer active.
