John Jacobs (activist)
John Gregory Jacobs (September 30, 1947 – October 20, 1997)〔Gillies, "The Last Radical," ''Vancouver Magazine,'' November 1998.〕 was an American student and anti-war activist in the 1960s and early 1970s. He was a leader in both Students for a Democratic Society and the Weatherman group, and an advocate of the use of violent force to overthrow the government of the United States. A fugitive since 1970, he died of melanoma in 1997.
==Early life==
John Jacobs was born to Douglas and Lucille Jacobs, a prominent leftist Jewish couple, in New York state in 1947. He had an older brother, Robert. His father was a well-known leftist journalist who had been one of the first Americans to report on the Spanish Civil War. His parents later moved to Connecticut, where his father owned a bookstore. His childhood appeared to have been happy, and he was close to his parents.〔
In high school, Jacobs began to read Marxist philosophy heavily, and was deeply interested in the Russian Revolution of 1917. He also admired Che Guevara.〔
Jacobs graduated from high school in 1965 and enrolled at Columbia College of Columbia University. During the summer between high school and college, he lived in New York City and worked for a left-wing newspaper. Politically active in leftist political circles, Jacobs became acquainted with a large number of progressive intellectuals who further stimulated growth in his political ideology.〔 For a brief time, he belonged to the Progressive Labor Party (PL), at the time a Maoist communist party.〔Jacobs, ''The Way the Wind Blew: A History of the Weather Underground,'' 1997.〕〔Jones, ''A Radical Line: From the Labor Movement to the Weather Underground, One Family's Century of Conscience,'' 2004.〕〔Varon, ''Bringing the War Home: The Weather Underground, the Red Army Faction, and Revolutionary Violence in the Sixties and Seventies,'' 2004.〕 His first semester at Columbia, Jacobs met fellow freshman Mark Rudd, and the two became friends.〔
