[aaus-list] Archie Green, 91, Union Activist and Folklorist, Dies

[Max Pyziur]

"Archie Green, a shipwright turned folklorist whose interest in union
workers and their culture transformed the study of American folklore and
who single-handedly persuaded Congress to create the American Folklife
Center at the Library of Congress, died last Sunday at his home in San
Francisco. He was 91.

...

Mr. Green was born Aaron Green in Winnipeg, Manitoba. His father had fled
Chernigov, in present-day Ukraine, after taking part in the failed 1905
revolution in Russia.
