Biographical Text

Oswald Garrison Villard was the son of Henry Villard and Fanny Villard. Villard graduated from Harvard University in 1893 and then toured Europe with his father for a year before returning to Harvard for a graduate degree in American History. In 1896 he began working for The Philadelphia Press and later worked as an editor for the Evening Post and The Nation. He was a founder of the American Anti-Imperialist League, which called for independence for the territories captured in the Spanish-American War. In 1900 he organized the third ticket to challenge William Jennings Bryan and William McKinley in the race for president. He was a co-founder of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) and served as its treasurer. During Woodrow Wilson's presidency, Villard wrote to encourage Wilson to improve conditions for African Americans. Villard also wrote many books, including John Brown 1800-1859: A Biography Fifty Years After, Germany Embattled, and The German Phoenix: The Story of the Republic. He was a member of the America First Committee, which opposed U.S. involvement in World War II, and in 1935 he sold The Nation because of its support for American intervention.

Villard married Julia Sandford in 1902. They had three children, two sons, and a daughter. Villard died in 1949.
