Hardcover - clean, no marks, clean inside, clean dj - from a private collection - John Lovejoy Elliott (2 December 1868 - 12 April 1942) was an American social work leader, Ethical Culture pioneer, founder of the Hudson Guild, and founding member of the American Civil Libe…rties Union (ACLU) Through his work with the Hudson Guild, Elliott became one of New York City's leading figures in social reform. He was a signatory to the petition for the founding of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), and in 1920 helped to establish the American Civil Liberties Union in 1920, remaining active on its board until his death. Among the wider causes Elliott endorsed were mothers' pensions, juvenile courts, and prison reform during the New Deal. In 1938, he founded the Good Neighbor Committee, of which he became chairman. This group assisted refugees, particularly those fleeing Nazi oppression, to find work and support in America. Also in 1938, at a lunch held to mark Elliott's 70th birthday, Mayor La Guardia praised him for "constant public service during his lifetime," and stated that "We could not have lived through such periods as this in this country without such leadership as that of Dr. Elliott" A biography, titled Ministry to Man: The Life of John Lovejoy Elliott, by Tay Hohoff, was published in 1959 Ellen Salzman-Fiske has suggested that, while often overshadowed by his female contemporaries: one could argue that it is Elliott who created and put into practice a settlement house that best addressed the needs of immigrants and most helped the immigrant underclass achieve some independence and political power.
