  • Pixel Wrangler said:
    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

W.D. Haywood (LOC)

  • Harry Angstrom said:
    Big Bill Haywood, the labor leader, is tagged in another LoC/Flickr photo, see tags above. "The Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), under the leadership of William D. "Big Bill" Haywood, advocated a confrontational strategy that embraced violent tactics if necessary to win strikes, mobilize public opinion, or exact revenge for capitalist crimes. The "Wobblies," as they were known, were a small percentage of the Socialist movement, but they had an influence out of proportion to their numbers." (from Lewis I Gould: Four Hats in the Ring, the 1912 Election and the Birth of Modern American Politics, pg 108).
