Bill Zimmerman is an American political consultant and author who was an anti-war activist during the Vietnam War.

1963

Bill Zimmerman worked briefly for the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) in Mississippi in 1963, then joined the civil rights and antiwar movements while being trained as a research scientist at the University of Chicago.

1966

While a student at the University of Chicago, Zimmerman marched with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and joined antiwar demonstrations, including the seizure of the university’s administration building in 1966.

As a professor at Brooklyn College, he sat in to block US Navy recruiters, helped lead a student/faculty strike, organized students and faculty for the March on the Pentagon, and worked for open admissions for Black and Puerto Rican students.

Leaving science to protest weapons research, Zimmerman helped form Science for the People, a national organization of scientists that questioned the military and commercial applications of new knowledge.

1967

Bush, and Republicans in Congress.
