Goldman, Emma, 1869-1940
Note:
This street performance was named after Emma Goldman, a labor organizer during the 1930s. She belonged to the communist party
and was often referred to as "Red Emma." A "Free Speech" banner is carried by some of the participants. It was staged downtown
San Diego, on the same corner where IWW (Industrial Workers of the World) union members were arrested for speaking in public.
This photo is of a passionate young Chicana with political buttons on her blouse.
