On August 3, 1929, occurred in a memorable legal battle that had far-reaching consequences in the United States. The fighting began over the red flag.19-year-old Yetta Stromberg fought to get the Red Flag Rights Act recognized. The incident occurred in California where she held a red flag at a youth camp.
But at that time, the red flag was illegal in the country. In 24 states of the country, the flags of several leftists, including communists, were banned. As a result, he was arrested. But he did not give up and filed a case against the government. A 19-year-old girl's fight began. The case reached the Supreme Court, and finally, after hearing all the documents, the tribunal gave a landmark verdict. Stromberg was a nineteen-year-old student at the University of Southern California and a member of the Young Communist League, an international organization affiliated with the Communist Party. In a state trial, he was charged with a daily ritual that took place at a summer camp on a rented ranch near Yucaipa, California, where he worked as a teacher. During the ceremony, Stromberg supervised and directed the youth to raise a red flag and "pledge allegiance to the workers' red flag and the cause for which it stands, our one lifelong goal, the freedom of the working class. "
The court eventually ruled that a California law banning the red flag was unconstitutional because it violated the Fourteenth Amendment, which states the right of citizenship and equal protection under the law, and was proposed in response to problems related to former slaves after the American Civil War.
Amendment to the United States Constitution case, Yetta Stromberg was found guilty of displaying a red flag every day at a youth camp for children where she worked, and was charged under California law. Chief Justice Charles Hughes wrote for the seven-judge majority that the California law was unconstitutional, and therefore Stromberg's conviction could not be upheld.
