Chicago had a "radical"/liberal reputation, which Francis Boyle said, that was before the era of the Straussian Neo-Con takeover when he was a bachelor degree student. It is likely that after Lynd relocated from Chicago, where he worked in community activism and labor law to Youngstown Ohio that he influenced the political philosophy of Dennis Kucinich, who grew up in nearby Cleveland in a large working class family and was Cleveland's youngest mayor and 6-term Congressman and anti-war activist. </div><div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: black;" data-mce-style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: black;"><br clear="none"></div><div style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: black;" data-mce-style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt; color: black;">Midge O'Brien<br clear="none"><br clear="none"><br clear="none">-----Original Message-----<br clear="none">From: Brussel, Morton K <brussel@illinois.edu><br clear="none">To: Boyle, Francis A <fboyle@illinois.edu><br clear="none">Cc: Brussel, Morton K <brussel@illinois.edu>; Karen Aram <karenaram@hotmail.com>; Joe Lauria <joelauria@gmail.com>; Mildred O'brien <moboct1@aol.com>; Miller, Joseph Thomas <jtmiller@illinois.edu>; a-fields@uiuc.edu <a-fields@uiuc.edu>; abass10@gmail.com <abass10@gmail.com>; chicago@worldcantwait.net <chicago@worldcantwait.net>; davegreen84@yahoo.com <davegreen84@yahoo.com>; fboyle@uiuc.edu <fboyle@uiuc.edu>; lina@worldcantwait.net <lina@worldcantwait.net>; mickalideh@gmail.com <mickalideh@gmail.com>; samhusseini@gmail.com <samhusseini@gmail.com>; stuartnlevy <stuartnlevy@gmail.com>; C.

Denied tenure as a professor at Yale due to is anti-Vietnam war activism. Consistently a champion for human rights and fairness, principled and persistent. Knew and fought the evils of capitalism, living modestly, among working people when he didn’t have
to. Faded from view.

He was our Expert on the effectiveness of civil resistance. An incredibly courageous and principled human being. When
he heard I had been an undergrad at UChicago, he told me the story about him going there for law school. There was significant opposition on the Law Faculty. The Con Law Reactionary Dinosaur Phil Kurland threatened to leave if they admitted him. Lynd got an
admission letter from UC Law saying that he was admitted on condition that he promise not to engage in civil disobedience while a student there. Lynd responded that he was not going to begin his legal career by giving up his First Amendment Rights. They admitted
him anyway, to their credit. Kurland resigned from the law school and went over to teach in the UC College. The UC Law Faculty were real dinosaurs—and still are. But at the time it was the No. 3 ranked law school in the country after Harvard and Yale so he
got a first rate legal education there. And then put it to good use on his labor and union work for working men and women and their families. RIP. fab.</span></b></div>
