Description
Former Historical Society Director Terence Kissack unveils his new book, Free Comrades: Anarchism and Homosexuality in the United States, 1895-1917. At the Historical Society.

The story Terence Kissack tells in Free Comrades features charismatic radicals like Emma Goldman and a spectacular sex crime trial; it also explores the impact of World War I on US dissidents. At base, it's a true story about a group of anarchists who stood up for the rights of gay men and lesbians to live and love free from state interference.
