Read Lewis

Career[edit]

Read Lewis, an attorney who helped found the Settlement House Movement, founded, with Slovenian American author Louis Adamic ( Alojze Adamič; 1898–1951) and M. Margaret Anderson, the magazine Common Ground. The Carnegie Corporation of New York provided funding to start the new magazine. The name of the magazine was likely taken from the title of a book of the same name published by a leading member of the interfaith movement in 1938. Early staff included the future senator Alan Cranston (1914–2000) and poet Charles Olson.

Lewis served as Chairman and Executive Director of the American Council for Nationalities Service.

In 1918, Lewis was Special Assistant to the U.S. Ambassador to Russia in Petrograd.
