Fred W. Halstead (April 21, 1927 – June 2, 1988)[1] was the Socialist Workers Party's candidate for President of the United States in 1968. His running mate was Paul Boutelle.
Halstead played a significant role in the movement against the Vietnam War, outlined in his book Out Now! He also was a staff writer on The Militant, the publication of the Socialist Workers Party.
Halstead was a 6′6″, 350-pound ex–garment cutter who worked briefly as a bouncer in a country-and-western saloon in the 1950s, when he was on the blacklist.[2] On July 10, 1968, Halstead appeared on the political talk show Firing Line.[3]
