Sigmund Livingston

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sigmund Livingston was a Jewish attorney from Chicago, Illinois. He was the founder and first president of the Anti-Defamation League, and the author of the book Must Men Hate (New York and London: Harper & Brothers, 1944). The League's annual Sigmund Livingston Award, which recognizes individuals for outstanding contributions to furthering civil rights and fighting injustice, is named after him[1], as is its Sigmund Livingston fellowship.
