Dellinger, David

Dellinger, David
▪ 2005

      American peace activist (b. Aug. 22, 1915, Wakefield, Mass.—d. May 25, 2004, Montpelier, Vt.), embraced pacifism and civil disobedience for much of his life, being imprisoned twice in the early 1940s for refusing to be drafted and in the 1960s becoming a leader in the anti-Vietnam War movement. He helped organize the 1967 march on and encirclement of the Pentagon that Norman Mailer's book Armies of the Night (1968) recounted, and in 1969 he became one of the Chicago Seven defendants tried for criminal conspiracy and incitement to riot following the antiwar demonstrations that took place during the 1968 Democratic national convention. Though Dellinger and four other defendants were found guilty of the incitement charges, the convictions were overturned on appeal.
