    Elizabeth Gurley Flynn (1890–1964) was a labor leader, activist, and feminist who played a leading role in the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW). Flynn was a founding member of the American Civil Liberties Union and a visible proponent of women's rights, birth control, and women's suffrage. She joined the American Communist Party in 1936 and late in life, in 1961, became its chairwoman. She died during a visit to the Soviet Union, where she was accorded a state funeral. Wikipedia

    I hope the path is added just to show which route this guy took and not his 'actual' footsteps ;) Obviously, I know this 'footsteps' were present on actual photo at the time of scanning and not added later by the Library
