On a cold December morning in 1919, just after midnight, her comrade, Alexander Berkman, and more than 200 other foreign-born radicals were roused from their Ellis Island dormitory beds to begin their journey out of the United States for good. Convicted of obstructing the draft during World War I, Goldman's expatriation came 34 years after she had first set foot in New York -a young, brilliant, Russian immigrant. For more than three decades, she taunted mainstream America with her outspoken attacks on government, big business and war. As this AMERICA EXPERIENCE production shows, Goldman's passionate espousal of free speech, free love, and anarchism made her the target of persecution. Her sympathy for Leon Caolgosz, the assassin who killed President McKinley, brought down upon her the hatred of the authorities and the public at large. Feared as a sponsor of anarchy and revolution, she was vilified in the press as ''Red Emma.' ''Queen of the Anarchists.' and ''the most dangerous woman in America.'''
