Jack Weinberg (born April 4, 1940) is an environmental activist and former New Left activist who is best known for his role in the Free Speech Movement at the University of California, Berkeley in 1964. ==Youth== Weinberg was born in Buffalo, New York on April 4, 1940,〔 Reprinted from a ''Chicago Tribune'' article dated April 21, 2000.〕 and grew up there. His father owned a small jewelry business in Buffalo. He began college at the University of Buffalo.〔 At the age of 21 he transferred to the University of California, Berkeley, majoring in mathematics. He graduated in January 1963〔 "with great distinction". In the spring semester 1963, Weinberg continued at Berkeley as a graduate student in the mathematics department. He worked as a Teaching Assistant,〔 Reprinted from the January 1965 issue of ''Campus CORElator''.〕 teaching undergraduates who were taking large-lecture math courses. Weinberg's first participation in a political organization occurred in 1963, by joining the Berkeley chapter of CORE (Congress of Racial Equality). Weinberg spent the summer of 1963 traveling in the South visiting civil rights groups.〔〔 He returned to Berkeley and began his second semester of grad school in the fall of 1963 but then withdrew mid-semester to devote himself full-time to civil rights activities.〔〔 He became the head of Campus CORE. Weinberg remained in the Bay Area throughout the summer of 1964.〔Some sources incorrectly state that Weinberg went to Mississippi in the summer of 1964 and took part in Freedom Summer. FSM activists Mario Savio and Malcolm Zaretsky did so, but Weinberg did not.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Jack Weinberg」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
