          Archivist's note

          The Andrew Goodman interview conducted by Bob Riley in 1977 falls out of the chronological scope of the wider FIT Oral Histories project, which was started in 1978 by Touhey. I've not yet come across notes that indicate how this interview came to be included in the Oral Histories project, however due to its inclusion in this series by the related documents, it's being included as part of the Oral History Project.
