The Soviet Table, which is decorated with a Communist red star and hammer & sickle, was one of the many luncheon tables that club members congregated around to discuss the day's issues. It originated during the City Club's early years as a joke made at the expense of some of the club's more left-leaning members, but has since become a symbol of the City Club's dedication to free speech. The mural, titled Freedom of Speech, was painted by Elmer Brown in 1942 and has hung in the City Club since. | Creator: Frank Reed | Date: June 27, 1978 | Source: Cleveland Memory, Michael Schwartz Library Special Collections at Cleveland State UniversityDownload Original File
