In Honor of Red Sunday (1906)
This chapter describes a parade honoring the events of the 1905 Russian Revolution. It shows a gathering of around 5,000 to 6,000 Polish, Romanian, German, and Russian Jews at Rutgers Square in East Broadway on the first anniversary of Red Sunday. They marched through the lower east side up to Union Square, where they assembled to hear half a dozen speeches denunciatory of the Czar and to adopt resolutions calling for Russian freedom. Notable figures in the socialist and activist world came forward to deliver speeches expressing sympathy for the Jews in Russia and demanding socialist reforms in the United States, among others.
