Robert Alan Haber (born July 29, 1936) is an American activist. In 1960 he was elected the first president of the now-defunct Students for a Democratic Society, a left-wing student activist organization.[1] FBI files at the time indicated his official title as Field Secretary.[2] Described variously at the time as "Ann Arbor's resident radical" and "reticent visionary",[3][unreliable source] Haber organized a human rights conference in April of that year which "marked the debut of SDS"[4] and invited four organizers of the 1960 NAACP sit-ins against segregated lunch counters in Greensboro, North Carolina.
