Fellowship of Reconciliation
The
Fellowship of Reconciliation (FOR) was founded in 1915 by sixty-eight pacifists, including
Norman Thomas,
A. J. Muste, and
Jane Addams. FOR was formed initially in opposition to the entry of the
United States into
World War I. The
American Civil Liberties Union developed out of FOR?s conscientious objectors program and the Emergency Committee for Civil Liberties.
In 1918, FOR and the American Federation of Labor formed Brookwood Labor College, which lasted until 1937.
