Scott Braley
Scott Braley (born March 26, 1947) was a leftist activist and a regional organizer for the Michigan State University's chapter of the Students for a Democratic Society, better known as SDS. Braley became a member of Weatherman (later known as Weather Underground Organization) in 1969 and remained so until the group disbanded in 1977. Braley was one of the original members of the Revolutionary Youth Movement, a group devoted to anti-racism and Third World struggles which later evolved into Weatherman.
Revolutionary beginnings.
Martin Luther King Jr. was an inspiration for Scott Braley, and the reason for Braley's desire to see an escalation in the struggle for equal rights. "It seemed like a pretty clear choice," Braley was quoted as saying, "To be on the immoral and historically losing side of white supremacy, or to join a vibrant struggle for liberation around the world." It was because of MLK that Braley dropped out of school in 1967 and started organizing SDS chapters in his area full-time.
