Biography
Born in Detroit on August 26, 1931, moved to St. Paul in 1949 to attend Macalester College and served in the U.S. Army 1953-1955. A 1961 Freedom Rider arrested in Jackson, Mississippi, and a participant in the 1963-1964 Canada-to-Cuba Peace Walk, he founded the Honeywell Project in 1968 after reading a Staughton Lynd article calling on activists to target war-profiteering corporations. He led the Project for over two decades, organizing annual protests at Honeywell's Minneapolis headquarters and shareholder meetings against cluster bombs, missile-guidance systems, anti-personnel mines, and depleted-uranium munitions. Co-authored "You Can't Do That" (2010) with Carol Masters.
