On this day, 4 October 1893, Jewish anarchist immigrant Emma Goldman began her trial in New York City. The charges stemmed from a speech Goldman delivered on August 21. During a protest of up to 4000 unemployed workers in Union Square, Goldman called on the unemployed to: “demonstrate before the palaces of the rich, demand work. If they do not give you work, demand bread. If they deny you both, take bread.”
Found guilty of incitement to riot, she was sent back to the Tombs (Manhattan’s city prison) until October, when she was sentenced to a year’s imprisonment in Blackwell’s Island Penitentiary.
