Bob Basker

Bob Basker (born Solomon Basker on September 30, 1918, in East Harlem, New York City, died April 6, 2001) was a civil rights activist. He first became active in the student peace movement in the 1930s and was politically active throughout his life.
==Activism==
Raised in an Orthodox Jewish home, Basker joined the US Army in December 1941, after the attack on Pearl Harbor deeply affected him. It was at this time in his life that he changed his name to Robert (Bob) Basker. After his tour of duty and honorable discharge, Basker became active in the Civil Rights and Anti-Vietnam War Movements. In 1961, Basker was responsible for securing a home for the first black family in the all-white suburb of Skokie, Illinois and was instrumental in the struggle for integrated housing. In 1965, he co-founded Mattachine Midwest, one of the first homosexual rights organizations in America, and was its first president under the assumed name Bob Sloane.() As an active Progressive member of the Democratic Party, Basker had a unique talent for forming coalitions with both organizations and influential individuals. As a fighter for civil rights, he was an active member of many organizations, including the National Organization for Women, the NAACP, the American Civil Liberties Union, Veterans For Peace, and was a Charter Officer of the Alexander Hamilton Post #448 of the American Legion. Aside from championing the issue of LGBT equality, Basker also fought for prisoners' rights, the legalization of medical marijuana, and the availability of abortion. In the final years of his life, he was employed by the San Francisco District Attorney’s office.
