About This Item
[Anti-Vietnam War] Juan Farinas Defense Committee. Press release covering Cuban exile, Juan Farinas', arrest and associated anti-Vietnam War demonstrations. New York: the Committee, 1971. Size 8.5" x 11" inches. 8 pages. In December of 1968, twenty-three year old Columbia University worker, Juan Farinas, was tried and convicted on three counts of violating the Selective Service Act. According to the official press release, [Farinas'] only crime was to distribute a leaflet in opposition to the Vietnam War at the Whitehall Induction Center in the summer of 1968". In addition, he was prosecuted for refusing to report for and submit to the draft. In support of Farinas' diligent anti-war efforts, many labor unions, including Local 1199, helped to raise money for his trial defense and appeal process, conducting letter-writing campaigns and more. In a profound statement to the court, Farinas indicted the government and the U.S. prosecutor: 'You and your government may brand me as a criminal, but let me tell you this right now...YOU ARE THE CRIMINALS!". The U.S. Supreme Court refused to hear the case, and Juan Farinas served his jail sentence. Very clean and bright pages, in very good condition.
