Norman Thomas  

Definition(s)

  • Norman Thomas, six-time Socialist Party presidential candidate, was arguably the most important American Socialist leader in the late 1920s through the early 1950s. He presided over a declining socialist movement amid the upheavals of the Great Depression, World War II, and the beginning of the Cold War, to which he tried to bring to bear a democratic socialist program rooted in gradualism, consensual politics, and an ethical critique of capitalism. [Source: Encyclopedia of Activism and Social Justice; Thomas, Norman]
