William English Walling
William English Walling (1877–1936) (known as "English" to friends and family) was an American labor reformer and Socialist Republican born into a wealthy family in Louisville, Kentucky. He founded the National Women's Trade Union League in 1903. Moved by his investigation of a 1908 race riot in Springfield, Illinois, he was among the co-founders of the NAACP in 1909.〔Boylan, James. ''Revolutionary Lives: Anna Strunsky & William English Walling'', Amherst: University of Massachusetts Press, 1998. viii, 334 pp.〕
==Early life and education==
He was born into wealth in Louisville, Kentucky, the son of Willoughby Walling, a physician who had inherited much real estate, and Rosalind (English) Walling. He had an older brother, Willoughby George Walling. His father's family had held slaves before the American Civil War. The boys' maternal grandfather was William Hayden English, a successful businessman and the Democratic candidate from Indiana for vice president in 1880.
Walling was educated at a private school in Louisville, and at the University of Chicago and Harvard Law School. After his grandfather died while he was in college, Walling inherited a private income. He became a liberal and progressive, active in New York social movements and politics.
