This book collection honors
the life and work of David MacLaren, an adjunct professor at Roosevelt during
2001 and 2002. Passionate about his teaching and his research, Dave was devoted
to social justice and to the demolition of class barriers. He taught the U.S.
history survey at Roosevelt, as well as courses on recent American and urban
history, and his unfinished doctoral thesis investigated (and excoriated) the
maintenance of segregated blood supplies by the American Red Cross under the
supervision of the U.S. Department of War during World War II and the Korean
conflict.
Dave packed a full lifetime
of causes and loves into his thirty years. He was a published poet and an
aspiring playwright. He played and coached soccer with an exhilarating
intensity, and he agonized over the fortunes of the White Sox, the Bears, the
Fire, and his hometown Pacers. Dave lived and died with his heart on his sleeve
and that spirit is present still on the shelves of this collection.
