Emma Goldman too political

Apparently, Emma Goldman's words were "too political" for UC Berkeley, which owns the Emma Goldman papers and has a marvelous site about them and about Goldman. According to this NYT article I ran across while researching a Goldman quote I had seen, "university officials have refused to allow a fund-raising appeal for the Emma Goldman Papers Project to be mailed because it quoted Goldman on the subjects of suppression of free speech and her opposition to war. The university deemed the topics too political."

Emma Goldman would have had a lot of fun with that.
