He presently teaches at a city college in Chicago, lives in a working class black neighborhood on the city's South Side, and has spent the past several years organizing steel-workers in Gary, Ind. Lynd has been in NAM since its inception and his reputation and calm bearing were an important mediating force at the conference...
