Not In Our Town remembers philanthropist David Logan for his contributions to the arts and to journalism. Logan died on Jan. 22, 2011 at the age of 93.
Friends and family members attended a memorial service that was held in Logan's honor in Chicago this past weekend.
Among his many accomplishments is the creative and financial support given through his foundation, the Reva and David Logan Foundation, to the arts, education, and to providing countless platforms for social change.
Through his foundation, Logan has truly left a footprint in the world of journalism by providing funding for the nonprofit Center of Investigative Reporting, for PBS’s “Frontline,” and by endowing a chair in investigative reporting at the University of California-Berkeley's Graduate School of Journalism. The foundation also supported Not In Our Town's mission.
Logan is survived by his wife, Reva, as well as his three sons, nine grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
