Norman Tallentire

[2] In August 1922, Tallentire was arrested in the raid of a secret meeting of the Communist Party of America in Bridgman, Michigan.

[6] In 1932, Tallentire traveled to the Soviet Union in the Communist Party delegation to celebrate the fourteenth anniversary of the Russian Revolution.

[9] Rockwell Kent described him as "a lifelong agitator of men's consciences toward social justice, a firm upholder of the dignity of man and a literally restless organizer of the underprivileged".

[11] George Charney compared his speeches to William Jennings Bryant for the way he "interspersed dread prophecy and soothing homily".

[15] Vito Marcantonio defended Tallentire in the hearings, describing the defense as part of the struggle "to defeat the illegal, undemocratic, unconstitutional Walter-McCarran Act".
