NH removes historical marker for Communist Party leader and labor activist.

New Hampshire state officials have removed a historical marker commemorating the life of Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, a labor organizer and Communist Party leader, two weeks after it was unveiled. The move came after Republican politicians called for its removal, given Flynn's ties to communism. The state has quietly revised its policy for such markers in the wake of the controversy. The sign was initiated by a group of residents involved in local labor activism, who are distressed by its removal and believe the state did not follow its own protocols for removing signs.
