Dave Dellinger’s Political Legacy to Occupy Wall Street
Scatamacchia, Cristina
2015
Abstract
Recently historians have shown a growing interest in a small group of Christian radical pacifists, who became conscientious objectors during World War II, opposed the cold war and participated in the civil rights movement as well as in the movement against the war in Vietnam. These longtime nonviolent activists were a significant minority, because they kept political dissent alive in the Forties and Fifties when liberal consensus prevailed, bridging the gap between the Old and the New Left. Dave Dellinger was one of these activists and he continued to be politically active throughout the Eighties and Nineties, until his death in 2004 at the age of 88. His lifelong commitment eased the transition to Occupy Wall Street and provided ongoing continuity among radical movements.
