Franklin Rosemont

Born: 1943 in Chicago, Illinois
Pen Name: None

Connection to Illinois: Franklin spent his early years in Maywood, Illinois and entered Roosevelt University in 1962.

Biography: With his partner and comrade, Penelope Rosemont, and lifelong friend Paul Garon, he co-founded the Chicago Surrealist Group, an enduring and adventuresome collection of characters that would make the city a center for the reemergence of that movement of artistic and political revolt. Over four decades, Franklin produced a body of work, of declarations, manifestos, poetry, collage, hidden histories, and other interventions intended to inspire a new generation of revolution, and became perhaps 'the most productive scholar of labor and the left in the United States'.
