Schur property of l1 (${\ell }^1$)

The l-p sequence space ${\ell }^1$ has the Schur property. If a weakly null sequence stayed bounded below in norm, coordinatewise convergence and summability would select disjoint blocks containing almost all of successive terms. A sequence in ${\ell }^{\infty }$ matching their signs on those blocks would pair uniformly positively with a subsequence, contradicting weak convergence through the duality of l1 and l infinity.
