The Rockefeller family have funded Communist and humanistic projects and groups for years. With major financial support from John D. Rockefeller, Jr., the Riverside Church in New York City was planned and built. The land was purchased by Rockefeller and construction was completed in 1930. Upon completion, the church had a large, magnificent cathedral-like church.The tower, rising to a height of 392 feet, was the first of its kind to serve a functional purpose, providing 24 floors for the congregation’s programs.
Thanks for the additional info. A lot of stuff ties together here (young radical Obama, 1980s communist-led, pro-Soviet "no nukes" movement, James Cone/Black Liberation Theology, Ayers, radical left Riverside Church, Columbia U, John Drew, on and on.
