thank you so much for sharing this. I cannot wait to show my mom this and tell her how her grandfather's friends were all protesting on Columbia (he was a biz agent in the painter's union which is also mentioned in the paper)

"Columbia administrators did not hesitate to identify Burke’s radicalism and anti-Fascism as the principal causes of his expulsion a few years later, when the FBI began assembling a dossier on him."

"During the hearing on the resolution [to reverse Burke's expulsion], Board member Richard Foster declared to Burke, who was present, that in leading the anti-Nazi demonstration at Butler’s mansion he had not been “on the right side of the fence with opinion.”"
