Jack Donald Foner (December 14, 1910 - December 10, 1999) was an American historian best known for writing histories of the labor movement and the struggle for civil rights. A professor of American history, he established one of the first programs in black studies in the United States. He was blacklisted throughout the 1940s, 50s and 60s for his suspected former membership in the Communist Party, which he officially refused to either confirm or deny.
