Controversy Surrounds Removal of Feminist and Communist Party Leader's Historical Marker in New Hampshire

A historical marker dedicated to feminist and labor activist Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, who also led the Communist Party, was removed in New Hampshire just two weeks after it was unveiled. The marker drew criticism from two Republican members of the Executive Council, who argued it was inappropriate given Flynn's communist involvement. Supporters of the sign accused the state of violating its own rules for the markers, as markers can only be "retired" if they contain errors of fact, are in a state of disrepair or require refurbishment.
