Louis Marshall, Defender of Jewish Rights
Focuses on the struggle of Marshall (1856-1929) against antisemitism in the USA and worldwide, both before 1913 and afterward in his capacity as president of the American Jewish Committee. Marshall was sensitive to antisemitism from his early years. Realizing that antisemitism in the USA was not comparable to that of the Old World in its intensity and organizational base, he opposed declaring its danger publicly and advocated moderate forms of fighting it. Describes Marshall's campaign for the dismissal of Melvil Dewey from New York state service in 1904 and his struggle against federal immigration restrictions that were covertly anti-Jewish, as well as the antisemitic atmosphere surrounding the Leo Frank case and Marshall's protests against it, and his disdain for the activities of the Ku Klux Klan. Discusses his struggle against the myth of Jewish Bolshevism and "The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, " and against Henry Ford's anti-Jewish propaganda campaign and the latter's newspaper, "The Dearborn Independent." Marshall vehemently fought discrimination against Jews in the social, economic, and religious spheres.

No comprehensive biography has been published that does justice to Marshall’s richly diverse life as an impassioned defender of Jewish communal interests and as a prominent attorney who reportedly argued more cases before the Supreme Court...

Robert Louis Marshall was a Bailiff for the Seattle court system and worked under a traffic court judge, Judge Roy McGiff at The Specialty Service Bureau in Seattle, Washington. Robert adopted his own children secretly and he had affairs with prostitutes, and various street women. He owned his own business (an unemployment office) and was a self-made millionaire. But most important, he was a superb jazz musician playing the bass fiddle. He also owned a night club for young adults called the House of Entertainment. He was a U.S. Naval band leader in the 1940s, he put together his own musical group, the Bob Marshall Sextet and, last but not least, he was the President of the Black Musicians Union (The Blue Notes). Life was tough in Seattle, Washington, in the 1940s, the way of life consisted of post- Great Depression woes. The Civil Rights movement had not quite begun but racial segregation was the indicator that it would happen sooner rather than later. For one particular man, a jazzman, his dreams were so big perhaps most men may have found them to be mere fantasy. Robert Louis Marshall possessed such dreams. Jazzman is the story of his amazing life!
