Charles Rosenberg

It is said that he is a very serious young man. Charles Emile Lucenberg, 1882 was born in Cleveland, the son of German immigrants and the youngest of nine children-the first and only child in this family born in the United States. He grew up in a working-class community on the west side, where there are Germans and Bohemians. He lives in a house on West 85th Street, which still stands today. As a child, Charles was a model student, eager to become a Lutheran priest. However, his research made him question the fairness of capitalism to the American working class. He took an active part in politics when he was young. 19 10, he ran for governor of Ohio as a socialist. At that time, he was only 28 years old and was described by a reporter as "tall, blond and handsome". 19 10 this decade, Rosenberg was in. In the municipal election of 19 17, as a candidate of the socialist party, he won more than 27,000 votes out of 654.38+10,000 votes in the five-person system. 19 14 When the war broke out in Europe,

The United States joined the war, and he believed that the war was at the expense of the interests and lives of the rich and the working class. He became indignant-some people might say that even if the United States entered the war, he became tough. Later, when he continued to openly oppose the war, he was treated by the police, politicians and the public, and he became even more so. 19 17, Rudenberg was convicted by the federal court for obstructing conscription and spent a year in prison, where he was tortured by prison officials. He is a radical.

A few months after his release, Rudenberg led a peaceful event in downtown Cleveland on May 19 19 to celebrate the working class and the Russian revolution. Red is the theme of this day, because people hold red flags and red flags. Some people even wear red ribbons. Everything became violent when angry veterans attacked the team. Then the police joined the scuffle. Dozens of people were injured and two people died. Rudenberg and 65,438+024 others were arrested, and he was inexplicably accused of intentional homicide, although these charges were later dismissed.

After the incident, Rudenberg had little extra time in Cleveland. 19 19 In September, he co-founded the United States in Chicago and became the first executive secretary of the party. This new office is already a targeted person, which ensures that Rudenberg will be harassed by law enforcement officers who are afraid of "red panic" or even panic. According to the biography written by his son Daniel in 1937, he never failed to be accused or imprisoned in the next eight years, which earned him the title of "the most arrested person in America". 1927 In March, Rosenberg died suddenly at the age of 44 due to a ruptured appendix. He appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court against his latest conviction in a Michigan court, and the appeal is still pending. Luttenberg was cremated, and his ashes were transported to Russia and buried on the wall of the Kremlin, becoming one of the few Americans who won this honor.
