Item Description
2.75x4.25" on card stock. One of the speakers, Emma Goldman made a name for herself in the labor movement in her efforts to free those convicted in the Haymarket Affair in 1886. By the early 20th century, she established herself as one of the leaders or the anarchist movement in the U.S. She published a radical journal, Mother Earth, and helped to organize industrial disputes such as the Lawrence textile strike. On the outbreak of WWI, she became involved w/campaign to keep the U.S. out of the conflict. Another speaker at the event, Charles Mowbray, was an English anarcho-communist and political agitator. He was a member of the Labour Emancipation League and the publisher of the Commonwealth, a socialist British newspaper. He came to America in 1894 to go on a speaking tour, where he was briefly arrested for sedition. He remained in the United States until 1901, when he was deported along countless other anarchists in reaction to the McKinley assassination committed by anarchist, Leon Czolgosz. The ticket for the event, which was held at the Phoenix Park Hall in Newark, NJ, on August 24, 1894, has even age toning and moderate handling. VF. An interesting piece of the radical movement at the turn of the century.
