Earl Browder (1891-1973) was the chairman of the Communist Party USA at the peak of its influence from 1934 to 1945, and served as its presidential nominee in 1936 and 1940. One of these photos shows him with running mate James W. Ford, the first Black man to campaign on a presidential ticket; another is a formal portrait by Bachrach; and one shows him crossing a hammer and sickle with a New York Communist official at a 1936 Madison Square Garden rally.
