Smith Bagley: A man I never knew. A man I’m thankful to have learned about.
I was reading this post about someone, a progressive who recently passed away. His name was Smith Bagley.
Without Smith, the Reagan supported war in El Salvador probably would have dragged on for many more years; the Superfund to clean up the country’s worst toxic waste sites probably never would have been created; the recent progress on Cuba policy and the death penalty in many states would not have been possible; tens of millions of voters never would have gotten registered; vital organizations like the National Security Archive, CREW, USAction, and Women’s Voices Women’s Vote might not have gotten started at all.
For someone to have a list of accomplishments like those, he clearly deserves the progressive community’s accolades and honor.
