Almeda Kirsch, a 58-year member of the communist movement, died July 19 from a heart attack. In photo above, taken in July 2002, Kirsch was selling communist books and pamphlets outside the SWP hall in Cleveland. She joined the Socialist Workers Party in 1946 in Cleveland, where, as part of building the party for nearly six decades, she was active in the civil rights movement, the anti-Vietnam war movement, the fight for a woman's right to choose abortion, and other campaigns the SWP was involved in. A meeting to celebrate her life and contribution to building the party will take place in Cleveland shortly.
