    Alexander Berkman (November 21, 1870 – June 28, 1936) was an anarchist known for his political activism and writing. He was a leading member of the anarchist movement in the early 20th century. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Berkman
  • J Manfre said:
    This was during the mine strike in Colorado that led to the infamous Ludlow Massacre a few days later -- Berkman and the Wobblies had been leading solidarity demonstrations in New York in support of the miners, and this was likely one of those, I would guess.
  • J Manfre said:
    Also, less than a week before this, Wobblies were clubbed and arrested by the New York police for demonstrations in Union Square: query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=F10C12FA3D5E13...

    Lincoln Steffens was addressing a workers' / IWW / anarchist / socialist / rally in Union Square, New York City, on April 11, 1914. The structure from which he is speaking was more a porch than a balcony. In this photo from May 2, 1914, it is used for a suffragette rally: Here is William Jennings Bryan, speaking from the same porch, April 30, 1912: A Bain/LOC photo, not yet posted to Flickr, shows the Union Square "cottage" on May 1, 1908, during a May Day Socialist rally: luirig.altervista.org/cpm/albums/bain-27/13401-Socialists... A New York Times story (May 3, 1914) about a woman suffrage rally in Union Square refers to the speakers' platform as "the porch of the cottage" --- query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=F50D1EF9355D13...

    The anarchist Alexander Berkman addressed another part of the crowd on April 11, 1914:
  • Wystan said:
    LOC: you have misspelled both "Lincoln" and "Steffens" in your title.
  • The Library of Congress said:
    Wystan and buckeye616: Thank you for your correction of the typo in the title and for the additional information on Lincoln Steffens. We will include some of it in the record for this image when we update.
