World Citizen No. 1 Dies at 91

Monday, 29 July 2013 | by Pat's Picks

There’s an obituary for Gary Davis in today’s New York Times. Davis, who died last week at the age of 91, was the first and most vocal member of the One World movement. In 1948 he renounced his US citizenship at the American Embassy in Paris and spent the next six decades “expelled from and frequently arrested in a spate of countries and carrying a passport of his own devising.” Davis’s aim wasn’t to stir trouble—he believed if there were no states, there would be no wars.
