# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  John Davison Rockefeller Jr. was born January 29, 1874, the only son of Standard Oil's co-founder, and spent his life reshaping what that inheritance meant. He became one of Manhattan's largest real estate holders by developing Rockefeller Center, the vast Midtown office complex that redrew the city's skyline. He bankrolled the reconstruction of Colonial Williamsburg in Virginia and gave more than $500 million to educational institutions and other causes. But the Colorado Coalfield War shadowed him: he was widely blamed for orchestrating the Ludlow Massacre and other violence tied to the family's mining interests. He fathered six children — Abby, John III, Nelson, Laurance, Winthrop, and David — and died May 11, 1960, having spent a lifetime trying to spend his way past the source of the money.
