Mr. Robert Meeropol

Mr. Robert Meeropol
Robert Meeropol is the younger son of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg. In 1953, when he was six years old, the United States Government executed his parents for “conspiring to steal the secret of the atomic bomb.”
 
For over 40 years he has been a progressive activist, author and public speaker. In the 1970’s he and his brother, Michael, successfully sued the FBI and CIA to force the release of 300,000 previously secret documents about their parents. He earned undergraduate and graduate degrees in Anthropology from the University of Michigan, graduated law school in 1985, and was admitted to the Massachusetts Bar.
 
Robert has long been involved in anti-capital punishment activism, locally and internationally. He is interested in, and blogs about, issues of national security and civil liberties, and in understanding the connections between global warming, the evolution of human societies, and political activism.
