Steven Conliff (1949 – June 1, 2006) was a Midwestern-based political activist in the 1960s and 1970s. He is chiefly remembered for throwing a banana cream pie at James A. Rhodes, the governor of Ohio. Rhodes had previously approved the infamous Kent State Shootings. Conliff was an important leader of the Yippies' second wave, which included well-known activists such as AJ Weberman, Aron Kay (another famous pie thrower), David Peel, and Dana Beal. He was also the transatlantic coordinator of the Rock Against Racism USA campaign of 1979, helping to organize concerts in Columbus, Ohio, Chicago, Ill. and New York City. He died of cancer.
