Stew Albert was a larger-than-life
idealist, radical counterculture activist, leading anti-Vietnam war protester, theatrical prankster and founding member
of the Yippies, who never stopped speaking, writing and acting on behalf of justice and social change. In a letter
written to Albert's family, Tom Hayden spoke of Albert as, "A whole person in a time of broken lives."
Earlier this year, Albert died of liver cancer. A prolific and gifted writer, highly intelligent and compassionately
spirited, Albert kept Naked News, a blog of articles, poems, and original
thoughts, including a daily chronicle through the last year of his life of chemotherapy and liver cancer. Naked News, the blog, continues on, as a legacy and tribute to Albert.Note: The contents of this blog are for informational purposes only and should not be construed as medical advice or substitute for professional care.
