A.J. Muste Memorial Institute

"Throughout his years as a leader of the labor, civil rights and anti-war movements, A.J. Muste motivated many people with his dedication and commitment to nonviolent action.

"Seven years after A.J.'s death in 1967, a group of pacifists inspired by his legacy started the A.J. Muste Memorial Institute. The Institute sought to carry forward A.J.'s commitment to nonviolent radical change by providing the movement for peace and justice with practical, concrete support.

"Initially run by volunteers from a borrowed desk in the War Resisters League office in downtown Manhattan, the Institute gained tax-exempt charitable status in 1974 and began raising funds to support activist projects through grants and sponsorships. In 1978, the Institute bought the "Peace Pentagon" office building to provide a stable and affordable base for itself and other activist groups in New York City." [1]
