On this day, 24 May 1990, the car of revolutionary construction worker and environmentalist Judy Bari was bombed, severely injuring her and wounding a colleague, Darryl Cherney.
They had been campaigning to protect ancient redwood forests in California from logging companies, and had received death threats and had their car rammed by a logging truck previously. Despite it being a clear attempt to murder them, the FBI arrived on the scene almost immediately and attempted to frame them for their own attempted assassination.
Bari, a member of the Industrial Workers of the World union and direct action environmentalist group Earth First!, died in 1997, having lived in constant pain since the attack. Several years later Cherney and Bari’s families won a civil rights case against the FBI for the frame job and were awarded $4.4 million.
