Today in Labor History June 25, 1878: Despite mass protests, Ezra Heywood was sentenced to two years hard labor for advocating free love and sexual emancipation as part of women's rights. President Hayes pardoned him after 6 months because of mass protests. He was arrested 4 more times and died of tuberculosis soon after his final release from prison. Heywood was an individualist anarchist, feminist and abolitionist who was hounded and harassed by the moralist vigilante Anthony Comstock. His wife, Angela, was considered by many to be even more radical than he was. Together, they published the Word, in which they regularly wrote about socialism, labor reform, free love, sexuality, birth control, and women’s rights.
