From an obituary in People's Weekly World:
Jane E. Hodes, a longtime Communist Party member and activist for peace,
social and economic justice, died June 6 at the Oakland, Calif.
retirement home where she had lived for many years. She was 90 years
old. Born Aug. 25, 1918 in New York City, Hodes was the daughter of
Walter E. Sachs, who headed the investment banking firm Goldman Sachs,
and Emanie Nahm Sachs, whose short stories and novels depicting the
efforts of early 20th century women to forge independent identities were
widely published at the time, and who later achieved success as a
painter. Walter Sachs was a founder of the NAACP, its first treasurer
and chair of its finance committee.

Back then, the moneyed elite kept ties with reformers. Today some
reformers try to maintain that tradition, but they get nothing to show
for their effort.
