Now this makes me *very* happy - because I didn't actually have any examples of activist writing of the period to go by. I just sort of assumed - rightly, it seems - that amateur writing with a Big Message usually sounds a bit like this. The tone of this is mostly based on one or two articles I wrote back in school. *g*
Re: flag reference. You're right, I think I should leave it in. It's not like Sam usually takes particular care not to do or say anachronistic things, after all... (Hey, maybe someone read that reference in 1975 in Manchester, and then moved to the States, and forgot about the article, but when there were discussions about a symbol for the movement, a few years later, there was this subconscious memory... *g*)
