A. J. Muste
A. J. Muste (January 8, 1885 – February 11, 1967) was a Dutch-born American clergyman and political activist. He is best remembered for his work in the labor movement, the pacifist movement, the anti-war movement, and the civil rights movement in the United States. Muste became involved in trade-union activity in 1919, when he led a 16-week-long textile strike in Lawrence, Massachusetts. In 1929, he organized the Conference for Progressive Labor Action, which became the American Workers Party in 1933. Muste resigned from the Workers Party in 1936 and left socialist politics to return to his roots as a Christian pacifist. In the 1960s, he was a leader in the movement against the Vietnam War. This photograph of Muste was taken by Bernard Gotfryd in Central Park, New York City, between 1965 and 1967. The image is part of a collection of Gotfryd's photographs in the Library of Congress.Photograph credit: Bernard Gotfryd; restored by Yann Forget
