208 East 13th Street – Emma Goldman’s home

New York has a rich history of revolutionary struggle. Sometimes you need to dig through dusty archives to find traces of it and other times you just need to walk down the street. The plaque depicted above, located at 208 East 13th Street, is a clear instance of the latter.

According to the Village Voice, Bruce Kayton’s Radical Walking Tours is responsible for the plaque. Kayton is also the author of Radical Walking Tours of New York City, which is a well-researched and well-written guide through Manhattan’s leftwing landmarks. He also leads informative and entertaining tours of various city neighborhoods, although apparently he has suspended them for the time being.

The photograph below offers a broader view of 208 East 13th Street. I have highlighted the plaque with a small black circle.
