Todd Gitlin, a prominent figure in the world of academia and intellectual pursuits, came into this world on January 6, 1943, in the bustling metropolis of Manhattan, New York City, within the state of New York, United States of America.
Throughout his life, Todd was blessed with the love and companionship of three remarkable women: Laurel Cook, Carol Wolman, and Nancy Hollander, each of whom played a significant role in his personal and professional journey.
Unfortunately, Todd's time on this earth came to an end on February 5, 2022, in the charming town of Pittsfield, Massachusetts, United States of America.
