  • لي ألكسندر لورش (بالإنجليزية: Lee Lorch)‏ (20 سبتمبر، 1915- 28 فبراير، 2014) رياضياتي، وناشط مُبكر في مجال حقوق الإنسان، وشيوعي. ساعدت قيادته لحملة إلغاء الفصل العنصري في بلدة ستوفيسانت، وهي مشروع سكني كبير في الجانب الشرقي من مانهاتن، في النهاية في جعل الفصل العنصري في السكن غير قانوني في جميع أنحاء البلاد، ولكنه أدى أيضًا إلى خسارة لورش لعمله. انتقل عندها مع عائلته إلى جنوب الولايات المتحدة حيث انخرط هناك مع زوجته، غريس لورش، في النضال من أجل الحقوق المدنية في حين كان يُعلّم في عدة كليات للسود يشجّع فيها الطلاب السود على متابعة دراساتهم في الرياضيات وتوجيه العديد من الرجال والنساء السود الأوائل للحصول على شهادات دكتوراه في الرياضيات في الولايات المتحدة، قبل انتقاله إلى كندا. أنهى حياته المهنية بروفيسورًا في كلية إيميريتوس بجامعة يورك في تورنتو، أونتاريو، كندا.
