December 13, 1994) was an American <a href="/wiki/Labor_history_(discipline)" class="mw-redirect" title="Labor history (discipline)">labor historian</a> and teacher. Foner was a prolific author and editor of more than 100 books. He is considered a pioneer in his extensive works on the role of radicals, Black Americans, and women in American labor and political history, which were generally neglected in mainstream academia at the time. A <a href="/wiki/Marxist" class="mw-redirect" title="Marxist">Marxist</a> thinker, he influenced more than a generation of scholars, inspiring some of the work published by younger academics from the 1970s on. In 1941, Foner became a public figure as one among 26 persons fired from teaching and staff positions at <a href="/wiki/City_College_of_New_York" title="City College of New York">City College of New York</a> for political views, following an investigation of communist influence in education by a state legislative committee, known as the <a href="/wiki/Rapp-Coudert_Committee" title="Rapp-Coudert Committee">Rapp-Coudert Committee</a>. </p><p>Foner is best remembered for his 10-volume <i>History of the Labor Movement in the United States,</i> published between 1947 and 1994. He also edited the 5-volume collection <i>The Life and Writings of <a href="/wiki/Frederick_Douglass" title="Frederick Douglass">Frederick Douglass</a>,</i> and wrote a biography of the abolitionist leader. His works <i>Organized Labor and the Black Worker,</i> (1974 and 1982 editions) and the two-volume <i>Women in the American Labor Movement</i> (1979 and 1980) also broke new ground in history. For his <i>American Labor Songs of the Nineteenth Century</i> (1975), Foner received the Deems Taylor Award, presented by the <a href="/wiki/American_Society_of_Composers,_Authors_and_Publishers" title="American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers">American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers</a> (ASCAP). </p><p>His scholarship, publications and political affiliations were considered to be on the far left.<sup id="cite_ref-EAL_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-EAL-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> In 1979, the New York State Board of Higher Education formally apologized to Foner and other persons who lost their jobs as a result of the Rapp-Coudert Committee, saying it had seriously violated <a href="/wiki/Academic_freedom" title="Academic freedom">academic freedom</a>.<sup id="cite_ref-foner_2-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-foner-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The New York Labor History Association had awarded Foner a lifetime achievement award in 1994.
