    Rare Books and Manuscripts Robert Minor Editorial Cartoons Collection Accession Number: SC U:48 Location: Map Cabinet A, Drawer 5 Dates: c. 1900 – c. 1920 Size: 1 oversized folder; 8 items Creator/Collector: Unknown Acquisition info: Unknown Accruals: No accruals expected Custodial history: Unknown Language: English Processed by: Sarah Cain, December 2014 Conservation notes: All items encapsulated in mylar sleeves and housed in an oversized acid-free folder. Scope and Content: The collection contains eight (8) original artworks by Robert “Bob” Minor (1884-1952) who was an editorial cartoonist for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. He also earned international fame as one of leading political activists for the Socialist Party of America and later the American Communist Party, where he became the party’s secretary. Minor was born July 15, 1884, in San Antonio, Texas. In 1904, Robert Minor was hired on at the San Antonio Gazette as an assistant stereotypist and handyman at the age of twenty. In his spare time while at the paper, Minor developed his artistic talent. Soon after, he emerged as an accomplished political cartoonist. Minor was hired as a cartoonist for the St. Louis Post-Dispatch and made the move to St. Louis. Minor's work, initially very conventional in form using pen-and-ink, was transformed by his move to the use of grease crayon on paper. Over his career Minor gained recognition as a cartoonist, considered to be one of the best in the country. He worked at the Post-Dispatch from 1907 to 1912 where he became the chief cartoonist at the Post-Dispatch before he left to take a position at the New York World and the Daily Worker.

  • Published Essays and Pamphlets "The Trial and Conviction of Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman" by Leonard D. Abbott
    Published Essays and Pamphlets "The Trial and Conviction of Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman" by Leonard D. Abbott When Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman, charged with conspiracy to defeat military registration under the conscription law, were sentenced by Judge Julius M. Mayer, on July 9, 1917, to serve two years in prison, to pay fines of $10,000 each, and to be probably deported to Russia at the expiration of their prison terms, United States Marshal McCarthy said: "This marks the beginning of the end of Anarchism in New York." But Mr. McCarthy is mistaken. The end of Anarchism will only be in sight when Liberty itself is dead or dying, and Liberty, as Walt Whitman wrote in one of his greatest poems, is not the first to go, nor the second or third to go,--"it waits for all the rest to go, it is the last." When there are no more memories of heroes and martyrs, And when all life and all the souls of men and women are discharged from any part of the earth, Then only shall liberty or the idea of liberty be discharged from that part of the earth, And the infidel come into full possession. THE ARREST Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman were arrested on June 15, at 20 East 125th Street, New York. At the time of the arrival of the Marshal and of his minions, late in the afternoon, Miss Goldman was in the room which served as the office of the No-Conscription League and of MOTHER EARTH. Berkman was upstairs in the office of THE BLAST.

If I am wrong in my belief that the press has not lived up to its past opportunities, you must surely agree that the Party and the country in which it operates are entering into a much different condition and that the press should respond to the change.

  • Anti-Fascism in a Global Perspective
    ANTI-FASCISM IN A GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE Transnational Networks, Exile Communities, and Radical Internationalism Edited by Kasper Braskén, Nigel Copsey and David Featherstone First published 2021 ISBN: 978-1-138-35218-6 (hbk) ISBN: 978-1-138-35219-3 (pbk) ISBN: 978-0-429-05835-6 (ebk) Chapter 10 ‘Aid the victims of German fascism!’: Transatlantic networks and the rise of anti-Nazism in the USA, 1933–1935 Kasper Braskén (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0) This OA chapter is funded by the Academy of Finland (project number 309624) 10 ‘AID THE VICTIMS OF GERMAN FASCISM!’ Transatlantic networks and the rise of anti-Nazism in the USA, 1933–1935 Kasper Braskén Anti-fascism became one of the main causes of the American left-liberal milieu during the mid-1930s.1 However, when looking back at the early 1930s, it seems unclear as to how this general awareness initially came about, and what kind of transatlantic exchanges of information and experiences formed the basis of a rising anti-fascist consensus in the US. Research has tended to focus on the latter half of the 1930s, which is mainly concerned with the Communist International’s (Comintern) so-called popular front period. Major themes have included anti- fascist responses to the Italian invasion of Ethiopia in 1935, the strongly felt soli- darity with the Spanish Republic during the Spanish Civil War (1936–1939), or the slow turn from an ‘anti-interventionist’ to an ‘interventionist/internationalist’ position during the Second World War.2 The aim of this chapter is to investigate two communist-led, international organisations that enabled the creation of new transatlantic, anti-fascist solidarity networks only months after Hitler’s rise to power in January 1933.
