Sommaire

Biographie

Au cours des années 1950 et 1960, Dellinger participa à de nombreuses marches dans le Sud et conduisit des grèves de la faim en prison. Au fur et à mesure que les États-Unis s'enfonçaient dans la Guerre du Viêt Nam, Dellinger appliquait les principes de non-violence édictés par Gandhi dans son activisme au sein du mouvement d'opposition à la guerre, dont le point d'orgue fut le procès des « Chicago Seven (en) ».

Dellinger entretenait contacts et amitiés avec diverses personnalités comme Eleanor Roosevelt, Hô Chi Minh, Martin Luther King, Abbie Hoffman, A.J. Muste, Greg Calvert, David McReynolds et plusieurs membres des Black Panthers, dont Fred Hampton auquel il vouait une grande admiration[1]. Comme président du Fifth Avenue Vietnam Peace Parade Committee il travaillait avec de nombreuses organisations anti-guerre et fut notamment l'organisateur de la marche sur le Pentagone du 21 octobre 1967 que Norman Mailer a racontée dans son livre Les Armées de la nuit.

Il fut membre du Parti socialiste d'Amérique (en) à la fin des années 1930[2] et fut également actif au sein de la War Resisters League (en).
