  Leo Huberman: radical agitator, socialist teacher Monthly Review - Find Articles   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
Much of this was due to the unique collaboration and friendship between Leo and Paul and to the larger MR "family" that included, initially, Gertrude Huberman (Leo's wife, who died in 1965) and Sybil H. May, MR's office manager until her death in October 1978.
Huberman's role during the first two decades of MR's life was but one event in a consequential life marked by his dedication to the political, social, cultural, and historical education of students and workers, of people from all walks of life.
Huberman taught at City and Country because of its radical approach and became a passionate advocate of progressive education.

 [No title]
Huberman was born in Newark, New Jersey in October 1903, the tenth of eleven children whose mother and father he once described as "worker intellectuals." He earned a teaching credential from Newark State Normal School, wed in 1925, and in 1926 graduated from New York University.
In 1948 Huberman was deeply involved in the 1948 Progressive Party campaign of late President Franklin D. Roosevelt's former Vice President Henry Wallace, a losing campaign that was controlled by the Communist Party and whose purpose was to stop Truman's "cold war" against Stalin's expanding empire.
In 1953 Huberman was called to testify as a hostile witness before the committee chaired by Senator Joseph McCarthy (R.-Wisconsin).

 Monthly Review October 2003 John J. Simon
In 1938, Leo published The Labor Spy Racket, a biting investigative exposE9 of the illegal and often bloody techniques used by corporate employers and their goons against the militant unions of the 1930s.
In his last years of his epochal life, Leo probed and challenged the ongoing tragedy of white supremacy in the United States; to this end in 1958 MR published as a special summer issue (and later a book) The Wall Between.
Leo’s friends would find this account blemished if it failed to mention that he was soft-spoken, full of warmth, and a great lover of games: tennis first of all, but also poker and scrabble.

 Joseph Hansen: Theory of the Cuban Revolution (Winter 1961)
A serious political error which Huberman and Sweezy themselves admit in their postscript to the book was the estimate that Washington would not slash the Cuban sugar quota.
From the origin of the July 26 Movement in 1953 until the rebel army was well on the way to victory, Huberman and Sweezy declare, “the Cuban CP was cool to and sometimes critical” of Castro’s organization.
As Huberman and Sweezy correctly observe, “a sort of dual system government began to emerge.” The displacement of Felipe Pazos by Che Guevara in November 1959 marked a decisive shift and the resolution of the governmental crisis, whatever hang-overs from the coalition still remained.
