In her last years, Anita Whitney remained true to her stripes.  She still passed out leaflets at factory gates, picketed at the German Consulate, and took to a “soapbox in Dolores Park to talk about the Japanese internment.”^[142]  Even at 83, when she was frail, she allowed longshoremen to carry her at a political rally where she spoke in defense of her fellow activists in the labor movement.  In February of 1955, she died at her home in San Francisco, ^[143] having lived just long enough to hear the news about the Court’s landmark ruling in Brown v. Board of Education.^[144]  Whereas Charles Ruthenberg’s death had robbed him of a lasting name in the law, it made Whitney’s name memorable.  And whereas the Court had not given Whitney her liberty, it gave her a legacy.
