Roger Baldwin
Born in Wellesley, Massachusetts in 1884, Roger Baldwin was influenced by the social radical movement as a young man.  A lifelong pacifist, he spent a year in jail as a conscientious objector.  In 1920 he was one of the founders of the American Civil Liberties Union, and became its first executive director, a position he held until 1950.  He lived into his late 90s, dying in 1981.  In that year he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by President Carter.
