#OtD 28 Mar 1915 anarchist Emma Goldman delivered a lecture in NYC on family planning, despite having previously been arrested for doing so. Although she gave explicit information on birth control and police were present, she wasn't arrested this time. https://t.co/NzwpQf46Qr https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/10031/emma-goldman-birth-control-lecture-in-nyc?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

@workingclasshistory So much for freedom of speech. I am sure the coppers were pretty pissed that they couldn‘t find / hear anything that was enough to arrest her the second time.
