Explain the actions that lawyer sigmund livingston took to the jewish religious minority expand its political rights and economic opportunities in american society

At the beginning of the 20th century, Jews in America faced overt anti-Semitism and various forms of open and hidden discrimination. Chicago lawyer Sigmund Livingston, a member of the local branch of the Sons of the Testament, which appeared in the United States as early as the 1940s on the initiative of Jewish immigrants from Germany, decided to fight intolerance. He created an organization whose mission was to “stop the defamation (reproach, slander, defamation) of Jews and ensure justice and equal treatment of all groups of the population”.

In April 1913, the Anti-Defamation League began its work. The founding of the organization was initiated by Sigmund Livingstone in connection with the trial of Leo Frank, a 29-year-old Jew. Factory manager Leo Frank was found guilty of raping and murdering 13-year-old girl, who worked at the factory, and was sentenced to death. After the governor replaced the execution with life imprisonment, Frank was abducted from prison and lynched by a group of prominent citizens in Atlanta.

At first, the organization’s budget was only $ 200, and the headquarters was located in the Chicago office of the lawyer. The principle of “justice for all” has become fundamental to the work of the organization. With the entry of the United States into World War II, the League began to provide assistance to government agencies, actively pursuing groups of hidden supporters of Nazism, making its findings accessible to government agencies in Washington and to the press. Even the FBI turned to the League for help. Its activities began to enjoy sympathy from some of the most far-sighted former enemies.
