Marv Davidov called himself a “non-violent revolutionary.” It was an apt description. For several decades, Davidov was Minnesota’s most persistent voice of conscience, engaging in civil disobedience on behalf of causes in which he passionately believed—from civil rights, to ending the war in Vietnam, to the rural Minnesota power line protests of the 1970s. Randy Furst of the Star Tribune has written an excellent obituary. You should read it.
