Judi Bari - Early Life

Early Life

Bari was raised in Silver Spring, Maryland, the daughter of mathematician Ruth Aaronson Bari and diamond setter Arthur Bari. The elder Baris were political left-wingers actively for civil rights and opposed to the Vietnam War. One of Judi Bari's sisters was New York Times science journalist Gina Kolata; the other a housewife. Her father was of Italian descent and her mother was Jewish. Although she attended the University of Maryland for five years, she dropped out without graduating. She admitted that her college career was most notable for "anti-Vietnam War rioting".
