Eli Messinger
Eli Messinger died 2018, joined the Marxist Education Collective in 1977 and worked more than tirelessly well into the 1980s. He never gave up interest nor lacked in support of the project to provide non-dogmatic non-sectarian Marxist education to as broad a public as possible. He was instrumental in establishing a Science Task Force at the New York Marxist School and did much to expand our focus on developments in science in classes, forums and other key parts of our curriculum.
Former husband of Ruth Messinger.
