I’m so glad that this person was willing to take a picture before literally taking the spraying water out of their house. Bless you.

We are standing at a crucial crossroads. Not only does the age-old “social question” concerning the exploitation of human labor remain unresolved, but the plundering of natural resources has reached a point where humanity is also forced to politically deal with an “ecological question.” Today, we have to make conscious choices about what direction society should take, to properly meet these challenges.

On this day, 28 March 1977, over 1,300 nearly all Black sanitation workers in Atlanta walked off the job for a 50 cent an hour pay increase. The city’s first Black mayor, who had come to power on the back of the civil rights and Black power movements and to whom the workers looked for support, sacked them all, with the support of civil rights leaders like Martin Luther King Sr (not to be confused with MLK Jr, who was assassinated while supporting a strike of sanitation workers).
It was an early lesson that having representatives of colour doesn’t necessarily benefit working class people of colour.
