Weatherman, fornerly a faction of Students
for a Democratic Society (SDS), controlled
the SDS National Office from June, 1959
- yntil its closing in February, 1970.
Weatherman then entered an underground
status and adopted a tactic of "strategic
sabotage," with police and military
installations designed as primary targets.
The SDS was founded during June, 1962, at
Port Huron, Michigan, and in the 1560's
functioned as the leading New Left campus-
based student organization in the United
States. From a Stance of "participatory
democracy," the SDS moved to a radical-
revolutionary position, It maintained a
national office at 1608 West Madison
Street, Chicago, Illinois, until February,
1970. Internal factionalism during 1969 "
produced three main factions: Yeatherman,
Revolutionary Youth Movement (RYH), and
Worker Student Alliance (SA). The
Weatherran and RYN no longer consider
themselves associated with the SDS. The
WSA faction continues to use the name SDS.
