Sigmund Livingston, founder of the Anti-Defamation League |
In 1913, anguished by the anti-Semitism of his time, Sigmund Livingston founded ADL in a small Chicago office. More than eight decades later, ADL has
grown beyond all expectations. . . beyond all aspirations. . . into 30 Regional and
Satellite Offices. . . into a leading force in human relations. . . into the nation's
foremost champion in the struggle against anti-Semitism.
Founded on one man's iron will to achieve social justice and to
eradicate hatred, ADL has invested nearly a century in influencing, educating and
effecting reform. As the face of America continues to change on the brink of the 21st
century, ADL will pursue its ever-challenging quest for equality, freedom and justice for
all people. . . our legacy from Sigmund Livingston.
