Judy Clavir Albert
Known as Judy Gumbo
A Canadian-American Activist
Judy was an original member of the Yippies, the Youth International Party, a 1960s counter culture and satirical anti-war group, along with fellow radicals Anita and Abbie Hoffman, Nancy Kurshan and Jerry Rubin, and late husband Stew Albert. Judy received her nickname, “Gumbo,” from Black Panther Party leader Eldridge Cleaver. Cleaver first referred to her as “Mrs. Stew,” finding her refusal to use her husband’s surname unacceptable. When Judy objected, Cleaver nicknamed her Gumbo, because “Gumbo goes with Stew.”
