The first call to action of the "Order of Robin Hood" which became known as the Green Feather Movement an early college activist movement rising from the campus of Indiana University against censorship and McCarthyism. On Nov. 13 1953 Mrs. Thomas J. White of the Indiana Textbook Commission called for a ban of Robin Hood in all school books for promoting communism because he stole from the rich to give to the poor. In response a group of 5 Indiana University students -Bernard Bray Mary Dawson Edwin Napier Blas Davila and Jeanine Carter- came together after gathering a bag of chicken feathers and dyeing them green to represent Robin Hood. They then spread them throughout campus in response to this censorship and the Red Scare of McCarthyism.
