Alexander Allain
Alexander Peter Allain (June 27, 1920 – January 5, 1994) became one of the United States’ most adamant fighters for the freedom of expression though his work as a lawyer and library advocate.〔"In memoriam: Alexander Peter Allain 1920-1994", ''Louisiana Libraries'', Winter 2006, 4.〕 His career was devoted to securing First Amendment rights for libraries.
Allain is recognized as one of ''American Libraries “100 of the Most Important Leaders we had in the 20th Century” for being “a true visionary” in his battle to uphold the First Amendment; his work with the American Library Association (ALA) included helping with the creation of the Office for Intellectual Freedom in 1967 and cofounding the Freedom to Read Foundation.〔Kniffel, L., Sullivan, P., & McCormick, E. (December 1999). "100 of the most important leaders we had in the 20th century", ''American Libraries'', 39.〕
== Early Life ==
Born in Louisiana, as a young man, Allain served as a liaison officer in the French Navy during World War II, stationed in Casablanca. After serving time in the navy, he received his law degree from Loyola University New Orleans in 1942. In 1953, Allain was appointed to the St. Mary Parish Library Board of Control in Louisiana.〔Allain, Alexander Peter, in ''Directory of Library & Information Professionals'' (Vol. 1, pp. 13-14). Woodbridge, CN: Research Publications.〕 It was during this time that the United States feared communism and scrutinized libraries for harboring any information that could potentially influence the public opinion.〔 This was an influential time in Allain’s life as he went on to make intellectual freedom cases his life’s work.
