Although it is raising funds to support its collection of her papers, UC Berkeley does not want you to read the following two quotes from Emma Goldman work: In one of the quotations, from 1915, Goldman called on people "not yet overcome by war madness to raise their voice of protest, to call attention of the people to the crime and outrage which are about to be perpetrated on them." In the other, from 1902, she warned that free-speech advocates "shall soon be obliged to meet in cellars, or in darkened rooms with closed doors, and speak in whispers lest our next-door neighbors should hear that free-born citizens dare not speak in the open." Perhaps the Emma Goldman collection would be safer in less discriminating hands.
