Palestinian Solidarity Committee
From an issue of the Palestinian Solidarity Committee's magazine Palestine Focus:
p. 7: "American Library Association Debates Condemnation of Israeli Censorship":
- "David Williams, a Chicago librarian, Palestine Solidarity Committee member, and coordinator of the Committee on Israeli Censorship, has sent a report to "Palestine Focus" on his group's work to get the American Library AssociationALA to go on record against Israeli censorship in the West Bank and Gaza. The ALA's influential Social Responsibility Roundtable passed a resolution condemning Israeli censorship practices at the ALA's June meeting, and Williams committee is continuing a campaign to get the entire ALA on record. For more information to to become involved in the campaign, contact David L. Williams, reference librarian, Chicago Public Library, Social Sciences and History Division, 400 N. Franklin, Chicago, IL, 60610, (312) 269-2953."
NB: The ALA has been long infiltrated by communists and other radicals, often led by old Venceremos Brigade members, and contributing writer to the Communist Party newspaper, the "Daily World", Ann Sparanese, who led the fight to prevent the ALA from condemning Castro's imprisonment of Cuban writers and free-speech activists.
