I am aware of some of the stories about harassment etc. and have made a stab of capturing the feelings/situation of the times--see the attachment below.

More importantly I would to have more incidents of harassment affecting Institutional economists, radical-Marxist economists, and Post Keynesian economists that occurred between 1965 and 1975--either personal stories or stories that you are knowledgeable about.

Also aside from AU did any of the above have URPE chapters and if so when were they formed.
