Long-time activist and author Franklin Rosemont died suddenly this weekend in Chicago.
Franklin and his wife, Penelope Rosemont, who survives him, have been the driving force behind the Charles H. Kerr Publishing Company since the early 1970s, were co-founders of the Chicago Surrealist Group in the late 1960s, and have been active in the IWW, the Chicago chapter of Earth First!, the Chicago Labor History Society, Students for a Democratic Society, and many, many other projects. Plans for a memorial have not been finalized.
