New #RosenbergMOTD: Monadnock Ledger-Transcript covers RFC Founder Robert Meeropol's July 22nd talk for the 2022 Amos Fortune Forum in Jaffrey, NH.

As the younger son of Ethel and Julius Rosenberg, Robert discussed the case for his mother's innocence and the effort to Exonerate Ethel, citing evidence from formerly classified documents that became available in the decades since the Rosenbergs' executions, clearly demonstrating the flimsiness of the U.S. government's case against her.

This Rosenberg Mention of the Day comes from a recent letter to the editor comparing charges faced by the Rosenbergs and the *lack* of accountability facing certain right-wing leadership in recent years.

While we think the writer makes some errors/wrong assumptions with respect to what the Rosenbergs did (and more importantly didn’t) do, we feel the comparison with current politicians and media personalities is worth considering.

On this day, April 5, 1951, Federal Judge Irving R. Kaufman sentenced Ethel and Julius Rosenberg to death, one week after a jury convicted them of conspiracy to commit espionage.

In his sentencing speech, Judge Kaufman said, "I consider your crimes worse than murder" and that the Rosenbergs' "love for their cause dominated their lives – it was even greater than their love for their children.”

On this day: March 29, 1951 Ethel and Julius Rosenberg were found guilty of conspiracy to commit espionage.
Last year on the 70th anniversary of the conviction, RFC Founder Robert Meeropol shared his thoughts for Emily Tamkin's New Statesman article on the case. This important piece focuses on what the Rosenbergs' convictions expose about the U.S.'s longstanding history of committing injustices in the name of national security.

Today’s Rosenberg Mention of the Day highlights the more controversial work of pop artist Andy Warhol.

“The world loves Andy's bright and easily-digestible pop art, but there is a much darker side to his portfolio that many have never been exposed to. For our first example, let's take a look at Electric Chair, a project that Andy worked on as a response to the execution of Julius and Ethel Rosenberg ... Although empty of anything except the chair, the image is haunting, to say the least.”

Today's Rosenberg Mention of the Day comes from a beautiful article about RFC Advisory Board member Angela Davis and a lifetime dedicated to revolution.

She discusses that while imprisoned in the 1970s, she thought of Sacco and Vanzetti and the Rosenbergs, "political figures who have been put to death," and knew that it was possible the same fate could happen to her.
