Definition

  • Michael Harrington, chairman of the Socialist Party of America from 1968 to 1972, was one of the most influential democratic socialists in 20th-century United States. During his long career of social activism, his affiliations ranged from the Catholic Worker movement of the 1950s, the Trotskyist Young Peoples Socialist League, and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, to his chairmanship of the reconstructed Socialist Party in the late 1960s, the Democratic Socialist Organizing Committee in the 1970s and the Democratic Socialists of America in the 1980s.
