In Memoriam

Horst Brand

Board member Horst Brand, who wrote for the first issue of Dissent in 1954, died as we were going to press. An economist retired from the U.S. Department of Labor Statistics, he continued to write for print and online publications. For almost six decades, his sharp analysis of economic and political issues graced our pages.

Patricia Cayo Sexton

As we went to press, word came of the death of our board member Patricia Cayo Sexton. Pat joined the Dissent board in 1972 and was an active member whose writing both in our pages and elsewhere made major contributions to the cause of labor and social justice.
