Busy week ends with brisket and pork chop tacos from Garcia’s (thanks to my boss!), Real Sugar Dr. Pepper, and some anime watchin’. The next couple of weeks at work are going to be non-stop go-time, so taking a break now while I can to recharge my nerd batteries. 🤓 #IEatFoodJustLikeYou #garciastacos #sanantonio #drpepperismykryptonite #myheroacademia #briskettaco #porkchoptaco #delicious #tastycakes #ComicShopGirl #WitnessMyBeanChewing #grateful

August 7, 1970 — Anniversary of the Marin California Courthouse Slave Rebellion

By Kiilu Nyasha

“Freeze!” shouted 17-year-old Jonathan Jackson, “We’re taking over” — as he tossed guns to McClain, Christmas, and Magee. With courage and calm they ushered their hostages to a waiting van, planning to go to a radio station to broadcast the racist atrocities against Black prisoners, and demand the immediate release of the Soledad Brothers — George Jackson, Fleeta Drumgo and John Clutchette.

What Jackson failed to anticipate was the State’s willingness to sacrifice one of its judges and the lives of everyone else to stop that escape. As he tried to leave the parking lot, the San Quentin guards arrived and opened fire, leaving Jackson, Christmas, McClain, and Judge Harold Haley dead, State prosecutor Gary Thomas and Ruchell Magee seriously wounded. One juror sustained a minor injury.

Although critically wounded making it impossible for him to have killed anyone, Magee was charged with everything they could throw at him. In court to testify for McClain that fateful day, Magee had seized the hour spontaneously.

There was a time working actually socially mattered, people actually noticed and cared if you were the guy weaving baskets or the lady raising hogs or even as recently as the 50′s people were more likely to know their mailman by name or respect the person running the corner store. Now most jobs may as well be anonymous and workers are disposable objects in the eyes of most employers.

workingclasshistory:

On this day, 7 August 1890, legendary US labour organiser, feminist and socialist Elizabeth Gurley Flynn was born. She played a leading role in the revolutionary Industrial Workers of the World union, was a founding member of the American Civil Liberties Union and an active fighter for birth control and women’s suffrage.
As an organiser in the IWW, she helped organise campaigns and strikes amongst garment workers in the north-east, miners in Minnesota and much more; she was arrested 10 times, once during a union fight for free-speech in Spokane, Washington.
Flynn later joined the Communist Party, and was one of numerous CP activists to be jailed for advocating “violent overthrow” of the government, serving two years in the Alderson federal prison camp.
Our podcast episode 16 is about women in the early IWW, and features as its theme tune Joe Hill’s song Rebel Girl, inspired by Flynn: https://workingclasshistory.com/2018/12/02/e16-women-in-the-early-iww/ https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1778987595619716/?type=3
