Henry Michael Foley (1917–1982) was an American experimental physicist.
He was a professor and a leading physicist at Columbia University, later serving as chairman of the physics department.[1] In 1948, Polykarp Kusch, working with Henry Foley, discovered the anomalous magnetic dipole moment of the electron.[2] He served on the JASON Defense Advisory Group, an independent group of scientists which advises the United States Government on matters of science and technology. He also served on the MX Missile Basing advisory panel.[3]

>> I remember I think it was the finest speak the Linden Johnson ever made when he came to the Congress and asked the Congress to guarantee that every American had the right to vote and we passed a Civil Rights bill a voting rights act that ended decades and decades of discrimination against African American's and Latinos and others and it didn't end overnight but it was a statement, a commitment that the United States was gonna do everything possible to see that every American had the right to participate in our government and I remember going back from that vote thinking we've really done something important today.
