Over the years, he also represented the National Welfare Rights Organization and sat on the board of the New York Civil Liberties Union. He was also legal director of the Scholarship, Education and Defense Fund for Racial Unity from 1963 to 1969. In 1964, he helped form and lead the Lawyers Constitutional Defense Committee, which enlisted lawyers to defend civil rights campaigners in the Deep South.
