A Note on these documents
These documents from the U.S. Trotskyist youth group, the Young Socialist Alliance, which was in political solidarity with the Socialist Workers Party, were donated to the Holt Labor Library by Gus Horowitz, who has been active in the YSA from 1960-65 and the SWP from 1960-80.. The Holt Labor Library in collaboration with Marty Goodman from the Riazanov Library Project has digitized these documents for the historical record and made them available here, on the Marxists Internet Archive. The records are only presented in a general chronological order by year or set of years. But for each year they are presented within each set by file number, not in any chronological order. So you will notice that often the listing of the files runs from latest to the earliest and not the other way around. This is how the records were organized and we are keeping to that organization.
