Le Pouls Du Monde

MikeDunnAuthorToday in Labor History March 21, 1965: 3,200 people began the third march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, to protest racial violence. Earlier efforts to hold the march had failed when police attacked demonstrators and a minister was fatally beaten by a group of Selma whites. The five-day walk ended March 26, when 20,000 people joined the marchers in front of the Alabama state Capitol in Montgomery. This time they were defended by national guards and FBI agents. Soon after, Congress passed the Voting Rights Act of 1965. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingClass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#workingClass</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LaborHistory</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/civilrights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#civilrights</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MartinLutherKing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#MartinLutherKing</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#racism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/JimCrow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#JimCrow</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fbi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fbi</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/votingrights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#votingrights</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/selma" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#selma</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/montgomery" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#montgomery</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/alabama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#alabama</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/policebrutality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#policebrutality</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/police" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#police</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BlackMastadon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BlackMastadon</a>

MikeDunnAuthorToday in Labor History March 12, 1912: The IWW won their Bread and Roses textile strike in Lawrence, MA. This was the first strike to use the moving picket line, implemented to avoid arrest for loitering. The workers came from 51 different nationalities and spoke 22 different languages. The mainstream unions, including the American Federation of Labor, all believed it was impossible to organize such a diverse workforce. However, the IWW organized workers by linguistic group and trained organizers who could speak each of the languages. Each language group got a delegate on the strike committee and had complete autonomy. Big Bill Haywood and Elizabeth Gurley Flynn masterminded the strategy of sending hundreds of the strikers' hungry children to sympathetic families in New York, New Jersey, and Vermont, drawing widespread sympathy, especially after police violently stopped a further exodus. 3 workers were killed by police during the strike. Nearly 300 were arrested.The 1911 verse, by Poet James Oppenheim, has been associated with the strike, particularly after Upton Sinclair made the connection in his 1915 labor anthology, “The Cry for Justice: An Anthology of the Literature of Social Protest”As we come marching, marching, we battle too for men, For they are women's children, and we mother them again. Our lives shall not be sweated from birth until life closes; Hearts starve as well as bodies; give us bread, but give us roses!<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#workingclass</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LaborHistory</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IWW" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#IWW</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/breadandroses" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#breadandroses</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/policebrutality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#policebrutality</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/union" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#union</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/elizabethgurleyflynn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#elizabethgurleyflynn</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/bigbillhaywood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#bigbillhaywood</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/strike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#strike</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/picket" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#picket</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/immigrants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#immigrants</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/poetry" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#poetry</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/novel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#novel</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#books</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fiction</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#writer</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#author</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/uptonsinclair" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#uptonsinclair</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstadon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@bookstadon</a>
