workingclasshistory:

On this day, 21 August 1893, Jewish anarchist migrant Emma Goldman led a march of 1,000 people to Union Square in New York City, where, speaking in German and English, she stated her belief that workers have a right to take bread if they are hungry and to demonstrate their needs “before the palaces of the rich”; about 3,000 gathered to listen. Goldman’s speech was characterised by the press as “incendiary” and, over a week later, cited as the reason for her arrest. We’ve got works by Goldman, and items celebrating her life, available to help fund our work: https://shop.workingclasshistory.com/collections/all/emma-goldman
