Description
Morality in Media, Inc. (MIM) is a national non-profit [501(c)(3)] organization that works through constitutional means to curb illegal traffic in obscenity and uphold standards of decency in media. MIM's offices are located in New York City at 475 Riverside Drive, New York, NY 10115.
MIM began in New York City in 1962 as a neighborhood organization (under the name Operation Yorkville) after children at a grade school in Manhattan were caught circulating sadomasochistic porn publications. Founding members included Fr. Morton A. Hill, S.J., Rabbi Julius Neumann and Rev. Robert Wiltenburg (a Lutheran pastor). They were soon joined by Rev. Constantine Volaitis of the Greek Orthodox Church.
In 1968, Fr. Hill (who also served as president of MIM until his death in 1985) was appointed by President Johnson to serve on the Presidential Commission on Obscenity and Pornography. In 1970, the Commission issued a report which recommended that all "adult" obscenity laws be repealed. Fr. Hill and another Commission member, Dr. Winfrey Link, co-authored a minority report that described the Commission's report as a "Magna Carta for the pornographers." In 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court cited the Hill-Link minority report in upholding obscenity laws.
