anarchist

This is the home of one of the Italian anarchist bombers who plotted to blow up St. Patrick's Cathedra on March 2, 1915: query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=9A00E6DB1238E633A...

My family actually lived at this address, 4th floor, in the late 1950s until I was about 3 or 4. I have a photo of me on the rooftop. Across the street was the WNEW Channel 5 TV studios. Kinda wild that the Library of Congress has this photo of my first home!

Emma Goldman (June 27 [O.S. June 15], 1869 – May 14, 1940) was an anarchist known for her political activism, writing, and speeches. She played a pivotal role in the development of anarchist political philosophy in North America and Europe in the first half of the 20th century. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emma_Goldman

Goldman and Alexander (Sasha) Berkman were in the news in May and June 1917 for their opposition to the "selective draft."

Wystan: Other than the misspelling, and the misplacement of the names, which we will fix in the record, I'm not sure what you mean about the tags "intended to accompany a different photo."

Ryan, the original set of tags referred to details of an ocean liner. I now see that the poster of those tags has removed them and substituted appropriate ones.

I am certain that this picture was taken on July 7, 1914 or July 8, 1914. I've doing research on these photos and people: onenineonefour.blogspot.com/2013/08/19140708-bombmakers-a...
