Anti-war activist and whistleblower Daniel Ellsberg, who died last week, is being remembered with an exhibit at the UMass Amherst Libraries.

Lasting through the summer, the exhibit is drawn from the vast collection of Ellsberg’s documents, photographs, and artifacts he donated to UMass Amherst in 2019.

WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief Paul Tuthill spoke with Jeremy Smith, the Ellsberg archivist at the W.E.B. Du Bois Library at UMass Amherst.

Paul Tuthill is WAMC’s Pioneer Valley Bureau Chief. He’s been covering news, everything from politics and government corruption to natural disasters and the arts, in western Massachusetts since 2007. Before joining WAMC, Paul was a reporter and anchor at WRKO in Boston. He was news director for more than a decade at WTAG in Worcester. Paul has won more than two dozen Associated Press Broadcast Awards. He won an Edward R. Murrow award for reporting on veterans’ healthcare for WAMC in 2011. Born and raised in western New York, Paul did his first radio reporting while he was a student at the University of Rochester.
