Lucy Eldine González was born in Texas in 1853 to parents of mixed ancestry. Thought to have been born a slave, she married Albert Parsons in 1871 and fled with him to Chicago when their interracial marriage provoked outrage. The couple became involved in anarchist politics with a particular focus on the labor movement, and became such fixtures that both were regarded by the Chicago Police Department as significant threats to the public peace. Lucy published books, wrote for The Socialist, cofounded The Alarm—the journal of the International Working People’s Association—and was considered such a menace to society that even upon her death at the age of 89, the CPD seized her private library and papers.
