October 17, 1920: John Reed, U.S. communist, journalist and activist, died of influenza in Moscow. He was honored by being buried in the Kremlin wall.
Reed’s long revolutionary career took him from the Patterson strike to revolutionary Mexico. Most famously, he witnessed (and gave voice to) the 1917 Great October Socialist Revolution in Russia through his book, Ten Days That Shook the World.
Reed fell ill after traveling to the Congress of the Peoples of the East in Baku, where he gave this talk representing the communists of the U.S.: https://www.marxists.org/history/international/comintern/baku/ch04a.htm
