Ezra Heywood
From Anarchopedia
Ezra Heywood was an anarchist, imprisoned for “obscenity†back in 1878 June for his advocacy of “free loveâ€. He was pardoned by US President Hayes on December 20 after popular agitation for his release.
After the Civil War, the abolitionist Ezra Heywood turned his attention toward the labour movement and, eventually, toward free love. The Heywoodsʼ The Word — subtitled “A Monthly Journal of Reform,†— was connected to radical individualism both through its editors and through its contributors, who included Josiah Warren, Benjamin Tucker, and J.K. Ingalls. Initially, The Word presented free love as a minor theme which was expressed within a labour reform format. But the publication later evolved into an explicitly free love periodical.
