As lots of you recognize, my e book The Indispensable Proper: Free Speech within the Age of Rage is scheduled for launch in a couple of months. I’m placing collectively the ultimate edits and artwork. I’ve run right into a curious drawback with a extensively referenced historic determine, socialist chief Charles Schenck. The defendant in Schenck v. United States is related to the choice the place Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes coined his well-known “shouting hearth” analogy. Nevertheless, I’ve not been capable of finding a great image of Schenck himself, a curious paucity of images given his historic significance. I could also be lacking some useful resource, so I assumed I’d attain out to our readership to see if anybody is aware of of such pictures. I discovered one picture that could be Schenck however I used to be not in a position to verify the authenticity.
Charles T. Schenck was basic secretary of the U.S. Socialist Occasion and his conviction led to the historic determination within the Supreme Court docket in 1919. Many searches give you an image that’s really Oliver Wendell Holmes. Others are clearly the flawed Charles Schenck. There may be one picture that, once you run it down, is from a small web site with out confirming sources. Ideally, we’re in search of a excessive decision picture with a confirmed supply.
So, have you ever seen this man?
On a much less pressing want, I’m additionally looking for a excessive decision picture of Montana Choose George M. Bourquin.
