Read Lewis

Career

[edit]

Read Lewis, an attorney who helped found the Settlement House Movement, founded, with Slovenian American author Louis Adamic ( Alojze Adamič; 1898–1951) and M. Margaret Anderson, the magazine Common Ground. The Carnegie Corporation of New York provided funding to start the new magazine. The name of the magazine was likely taken from the title of a book of the same name published by a leading member of the interfaith movement in 1938. Early staff included the future senator Alan Cranston (1914–2000) and poet Charles Olson.

Lewis served as Chairman and Executive Director of the American Council for Nationalities Service.

In 1918, Lewis was Special Assistant to the U.S. Ambassador to Russia in Petrograd.

  • The Foreign Language Information Service was founded in 1921 to counter the anti-immigrant attitudes that became prevalent in the U.S. during the 1920s.
  • From at least 1925 to at least 1930, Lewis was with the Foreign Language Information Service.
  • The Common Council for American Unity, in 1929, succeeded the Foreign Language Information Service.
  • American Federation of International Institutes to form the American Council for Nationalities Services (ACNS). ACNS later became the Immigration and Refugee Services of America in 1994, and in 2004 changed its name to U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants (USCRI).
