Howard Zinn Quote
Party…. In New York, several thousand gathered at Tompkins Square. The tone of the meeting was moderate, speaking of a political revolution through the ballot box. And: If you will unite, we may have here within five years a socialistic republic…. Then will a lovely morning break over this darkened land. It was a peaceful meeting. It adjourned. The last words heard from the platform were: Whatever we poor men may not have, we have free speech, and no one can take it from us. Then the police charged, using their clubs.
