Colin Edwards Collection

The Freedom Archives is honored to contain hundreds of programs on many topics produced by Colin Edwards. Colin Edwards (1924–1994) was an outstanding internationalist journalist and writer who created a huge body of work. Colin came from Wales and was a fervent Welsh nationalist. Following service in WW II, he became a combat correspondent in Malaya, then in Burma, Indochina and Korea. Later, he was an independent journalist with Canadian Broadcasting, the BBC and Pacifica Radio among others. He did important on-the-scene interviews and documentaries on anti-imperialist national liberation struggles in the Middle East, especially Palestine, Asia, particularly Vietnam, and many other struggles, including the civil rights, Black Power, and student anti-war movements in the US.  Edwards also worked closely with Moshe Menuhin—a prominent Jewish anti-Zionist (and the father of world-famous violinist Yehudi Menuhin). The interviews with Moshe Menuhin are in the Archives collection, as is all of the audio work of Colin Edwards, with the exception of interviews and writings on Welsh poet Dylan Thomas, which reside in the National Library of Wales. The collection was entrusted to the Freedom Archives by Mary Edwards, his widow.
