  1. I find it fascinating how Albert Parsons was a Confederate soldier before he married Lucy Parsons; it'd be interesting to read an in-depth account of how exactly his political "conversion" happened (if I had the attention span for that, of course)

      Also reading the "Conflict with Emma Goldman" section on Lucy Parsons' Wikipedia page, it's striking how their rift was basically the same "class-first vs. other identities first" debate that we're still holding on the left today. Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose…
