Paul Underwood Kellogg

Paul Underwood Kellogg (September 30, 1879 – November 1, 1958) was an American journalist and social reformer.

Early life and education Paul U. Kellogg was born in Kalamazoo, Michigan on September 30, 1879. After working as a journalist he moved to New York City to study at Columbia University.

He married Marion Pearce Sherwood in 1909. They subsequently divorced, and he remarried to Helen Hall in 1935.

Kellogg returned to Charities magazine, now retitled Survey magazine. He became editor in 1912 and over the next few years turned into America's leading social work journal. During the First World War Kellogg had become appalled by the way people were being persecuted for their political beliefs, particularly by Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer. In 1920, Kellogg joined with Roger Baldwin, Norman Thomas, Crystal Eastman, Addams, Clarence Darrow, John Dewey, Abraham Muste, Elizabeth Gurley Flynn and Upton Sinclair to form the American Civil Liberties Union. In 1927, Kellogg joined with many prominent liberals in an unsuccessful effort to prevent the execution of anarchist activists Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo Vanzetti for murder.

Kellogg died in New Paltz, New York on November 1, 1958.
