Arthur J. GoldbergUnited States, 1908 - 1990

Arthur Joseph Goldberg was a prominent labor lawyer, representing striking Chicago newspaper workers on behalf of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO). President Kennedy appointed Goldberg Secretary of Labor and he served from January 21, 1961 to September 20, 1962. He was then appointed an associate justice of the Supreme Court replacing Felix Frankfurter, serving from October 1, 1962 to July 25, 1965. In 1965, Goldberg was persuaded by President Johnson to resign his seat on the court to replace the late Adlai Stevenson as the U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations. In that post, he clashed with Johnson over the course of the Vietnam War. He resigned from the ambassadorship in 1968.
