    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...

    My first thoughts are Grand Parade Cork?
  • Dora Meulman said:
    I agree that’s the Grand Parade in Cork, great photo!
  • guliolopez said:
    My initial reaction is to suggest that this is the Grand Parade on Cork also. Here specifically. Looking past the National Monument towards Sullivan's Quay. This is was fairly common spot for public meetings in those days (Collins and others would famously speak from the same spot in the years that followed). The only thing that gives me pause is the lack of detail on the monument - but that's almost certainly a focus/quality issue. Grand Parade - >90% certainty.

    there was the Conscription Crisis in 1918, I see many photos of the crowd online, none from this angle

    National Library of Ireland on The Commons Dora Meulman You are correct - if you look at this photo from the archive the "White - Corner Stones" between the Grand Parade and The South Mall match perfectly with the photo above - See here

Mrs. Margaret Howe (LOC)

    Mrs. Margaret Howe holds the emblem representing the Oregon delegation at a women's suffrage parade in 1913 in Washington DC. (Note the NA banner hanging on the building. NA was the National American Women's Suffrage Association). At this march/ parade, the women held banners representing states that already had women's suffrage. Oregon women obtained the right to vote in 1912.
