Anti-Rosenberg Demonstrators
Julius and Ethel Rosenberg were convicted of spying for the Soviet Union on March 29, 1951, and sentenced to death. The climate surrounding their trial was enflamed in part by the testimony provided by Joseph R. McCarthy to the Senate Tydings Committee in 1951; at the same time their conviction lent credence to his later charges. Here anti-Communist New Yorkers demonstrate against the Rosenbergs and their co-conspirator Morton Sobell. |
