Jack Fitzgerald

Jack Fitzgerald (c. 1873–16 April 1929) was a founder member of the Socialist Party of Great Britain.
Fitzgerald was an Irishman who had settled in London, and had joined the socialist movement after becoming a secularist, embracing socialism after attending a debate between secularist Charles Bradlaugh and socialist Henry Hyndman.[1] “Fitz”, as he was known, was a very well known indoor and outdoor speaker for the SPGB — two of his debates were issued as pamphlets: The Socialist Party and the Liberal Party (1911) and Socialism and Tariff Reform (1912)—and was a prolific writer for the Socialist Standard. He was an SPGB Executive Committee member continuously from 1905 until his death in 1929 and was also on the Editorial Committee for most of that time. He was also secretary of Clerkenwell branch from 1905 to 1906.
