Alan Minsky (born August 5, 1965) is the Executive Director of Progressive Democrats of America (PDA). Before joining PDA in 2018, Minsky worked as a political journalist with Pacifica Radio, wrote a series of books on American sports history, and published articles on both politics and sports.
Early Life
Alan Minsky is the son of economist Hyman Minsky. Born in Berkeley California on August 5, 1965, Alan was raised in St Louis Missouri other than the years he spent in Cambridge England (1969-70) and Rome Italy (1978-79) when his father was on sabbatical from Washington University.
Alan attended Yale University as an undergraduate where he was one of six students arrested protesting the CIA in a celebrated case that came to be known as the "CIA Six." The group was ultimately let off with a slap on the wrist. Minsky graduated from Yale in 1988.
