 She surrendered in 1980 and pleaded guilty to unlawful possession of dynamite.

The May 19th Communist Organization (also variously referred to as the May 19 Coalition, May 19 Communist Coalition, and various alternatives of M19CO), was a US-based, self-described revolutionary organization formed by members of the Weather Underground Organization.
 The group was originally known as the New York chapter of the Prairie Fire Organizing Committee (PFOC), an organization devoted to legally promoting the causes of the Weather Underground.
 This was part of Prairie Fire Manifesto change in Weather Underground Organization strategy, which demanded both aboveground mass and clandestine organizations.
 The role of the clandestine organization would be to build the "consciousness of action" and prepare the way for the development of a people's militia.
 Concurrently, the role of the mass movement (i.e., above ground Prairie Fire Collective) would include support for, and encouragement of, armed action.
 Such an alliance would, according to Weather, "help create the 'sea' for the guerrillas to swim in."
 The M19CO name was derived from the birthdays of Ho Chi Minh and Malcolm X.
 The May 19 Communist Organization was active from 1978 to 1985.
 M19CO was a combination of the Black Liberation Army and the Weather Underground.
 It also included members of the Black Panthers and the Republic of New Africa (RNA).

 Reviewers have also noted that "Katherine" also "borrowed from the then-current headlines involving Patty Hearst, another heiress whose exact level of voluntary involvement with the Symbionese Liberation Army remained hazy in 1975.

The Greenwich Village townhouse explosion occurred on March 6, 1970, in the Greenwich Village neighborhood of the New York City borough of Manhattan.
 It was caused by the premature detonation of a bomb that was being assembled by members of the Weather Underground, an American radical left group.
 The bomb was under construction in the basement of 18 West 11th Street, when it accidentally exploded; the blast reduced the four-story townhouse to a burning, rubble-strewn ruin.
 The two persons preparing the bomb were killed instantly (Diana Oughton and Terry Robbins), as was a third "Weatherman" who happened to be walking into the townhouse (Ted Gold); two others were injured but were helped from the scene and later escaped (Kathy Boudin and Cathy Wilkerson).
