Dave Dellinger visited us at the School for Designing a Society in Urbana in 1997. His stories of maintaining integrity in the face of violence moved me deeply. When the police were rioting at the WTO protests in Seattle, gassing and beating people like crazy (one one friend was pulled off the top of a bus stop by her hair as she hid to avoid beatings, my other friend who was a medic was pepper sprayed in the eyes as she tried to care for another demonstrator) I was pissing my pants and praying that I be inhabited by the same courage Dave Dellinger had. He kept his "eyes on the prize" his whole life - from World War II to the WTO protests in Quebec City.
I strongly suggest reading his autobiography, from Yale to Jail.

[edit] Yale grad?
The article text said that he left Yale one day. Did he leave it permanently? Or did her return after that momentary protest and complete his degree. If the former, then the categorization as a Yale alum should be arroved. Dogru144 (talk) 21:29, 24 November 2007 (UTC)
