On a cold winter day, thousands gathered in front of the White House to demonstrate against racial injustice and out-of-control unemployment. Holding signs saying, “We Demand Work or Wages” and “Fight Police Brutality,” Black and White workers picketed until police broke up the crowd with billy clubs and tear gas. Meanwhile, the president watched from the White House.
This sounds like it could have happened in the past few months. But it was March 6, 1930, International Unemployment Day. With joblessness soaring after the 1929 stock market crash, it represented one of the first nationwide demonstrations where Whites and Blacks — most members of the Communist Party — locked arms against an unfair system.

They are decorated with images of chained prisoners characterized by their ethnic attributes. It is a selection of five captives, representing peoples involved in the political world of the New Kingdom.
From right to left: the first captive is a Hittite with pale skin; his hands are tied behind his back and he wears a striped skullcap with a dotted rim. He wears a colorful short kilt and a garment tied at the shoulder.

This blog is mostly so I can vent my feelings and share my interests. Other than that, I am nothing special.
If you don't like Left Wing political thought and philosophy, all things related to horror, the supernatural, the grotesque, guns or the strange, then get the fuck out. I just warned you.
