Phil Cushway was a student activist at the University of Michigan in the early 1970s. His involvement in the various student protests (Vietnam War, Attica lockdown) of that time, as well as his work with the Michigan Daily, led to this collection of materials which document some of his activities during that time. Cushway was active in the Indochina Peace Campaign, and much of the collection is made up of materials from that organization.

The bulk of materials document Cushway's activities at the University of Michigan during the early 1970s. The Series have been divided thus: Indochina Peace Campaign, Peoples Bicentennial Commission, Attica Brigade, Impeach Nixon Campaign, Radical Student Union, and Student Activities Committee.
