Preferred term

Saul Wellman  

Definition

  • Detroiter Saul Wellman risked his life for his beliefs, nearly died in battle in two wars, lived as a radical political leader and then as an outcast, spurned material rewards and security, and eventually became an internationally honored mentor of two generations of younger political activists. A committed revolutionary from his earliest days until his death at 90, Wellman lived by the credo of wanting to make the playing field level—meaning equality of everyone. [Source: Encyclopedia of Activism and Social Justice; Wellman, Saul (1913–2003)]
