MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History July 8, 1876: White Democrats attacked African-American Republicans in the Hamburg massacre, in South Carolina. In an act of voter suppression prior to the 1876 United States presidential election, 100 white members of the Red Shirts, a racist rifle club, attacked black members of the National Guards, torturing and murdering six of them. In the months prior to the 1876 election, whites killed scores of black people in the South. When the election finally occurred, the democrat, Samuel J. Tilden, received 184 uncontested electoral votes, just under the 185 threshold need to win. The Republican, Rutherford B. Hayes, had only 165, with four states (Florida, Louisiana, Oregon, and South Carolina) returning disputed slates. Then, in a secret back-room deal, it is presumed that Thomas Scott, president of the Pennsylvania Railroad, then the largest corporation in the world, orchestrated a compromise in which the Republican would get the presidency. What did the Democrats get in exchange for giving up the presidency, which they quite likely would have won? An end to Reconstruction, with the Republicans agreeing to remove the federal troops from the Southern states, which they had placed there to protect black residents and voters in the wake of the Civil War. This ushered in the era of Jim Crow, with intense suppression of African American voters, Civil Rights, and freedom. There is no written evidence to confirm that the Compromise of 1877 occurred. But if it did, it most likely occurred at the Wormley Hotel, one of the fanciest and most renowned hotels in Washington, D.C., owned by James Wormley, an African American man, and an activist for black Civil Rights.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>racism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Riot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Riot</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/murder" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>murder</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/massacre" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>massacre</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/reconstruction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>reconstruction</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/hamburg" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>hamburg</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/votersuppression" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>votersuppression</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/election" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>election</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/blm" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>blm</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/jameswormley" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>jameswormley</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/wormleyhotel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>wormleyhotel</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/pennsylvania" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pennsylvania</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/railroad" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>railroad</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/jimcrow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>jimcrow</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/civilrights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>civilrights</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/civilwar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>civilwar</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BlackMastadon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BlackMastadon</span></a></p>
MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History July 6, 1944: Four years before breaking the color barrier in Major League Baseball, Jackie Robinson refused to move to the back of a military bus, leading to a court-martial. He was acquitted by an all-white jury of nine officers. Fortunately, the court proceedings prevented his deployment and he finished World War II without seeing combat. The following year, Branch Rickey began to recruit him to play for the Dodgers. When he asked Robinson if he could take the racist epithets that would likely be hurled at him, he said, “Are you looking for a Negro who is afraid to fight back?” Rickey said, “No, I’m looking for one with guts enough NOT to fight back.”</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/mlb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>mlb</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/baseball" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>baseball</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/jackierobinson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>jackierobinson</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>racism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/jimcrow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>jimcrow</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/dodgers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dodgers</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BlackMastadon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BlackMastadon</span></a></p>
MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History July 4, 1910: African-American boxer Jack Johnson knocked out white boxer Jim Jeffries in the 15th round, leading to race riots throughout the U.S. 11 separate riots occurred in NYC, alone. There were riots in 50 cities, including New York, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Houston, New Orleans, Atlanta, and St. Louis. At least 20 people died in these riots. Johnson, who was also known as the Galveston Giant, became the first black World Heavyweight champion in 1908, which made him unpopular with the predominantly white audience of boxing. He held that title from 1908-1915 and quickly became the most famous black man of the era. The racism against him was so intense that many, including socialist writer Jack London, called for a Great White Hope to fight him and take away his title. Jeffries, a former heavyweight world champ, came out of retirement specifically to prove “that a white man is better than a Negro.” Johnson’s victory in this fight earned him $65,000 ($2.1 million in today’s dollars). </p><p>With his winnings, Johnson opened a multi-racial restaurant and nightclub, Club Deluxe, which he ran with his white wife. Because of this, the authorities arrested him for violating the Mann act (transporting women across state lines for immoral purposes). President Trump pardoned him in 2018, something Reagan, both Bushes and even Obama refused to do. Johnson fled the country to avoid arrest, but continued boxing abroad. Eventually he turned himself in and served time at Leavenworth Prison.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/boxing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>boxing</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/jackjohnson" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>jackjohnson</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>racism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>trump</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/obama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>obama</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/reagan" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>reagan</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/riots" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>riots</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/prison" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>prison</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/socialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>socialism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/jacklondon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>jacklondon</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/jimcrow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>jimcrow</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BlackMastadon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BlackMastadon</span></a></p>

MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History June 7, 1892: The authorities arrested Homer Plessy for refusing to leave his seat in the "whites-only" car of a train. He lost the resulting court case, the landmark Plessy v. Ferguson Supreme Court decision, which codified segregation and paved the way for Jim Crow. The ruling is commonly known as “separate, but equal,” and was later ruled “unequal” in actuality, in 1954, in Brown v Board of Education. </p><p>On the one-year anniversary of Plessy’s act of civil disobedience, Mahatma Gandhi was forcibly ejected from a train in Pietermaritzberg, South Africa for refusing to vacate a 1st class carriage for a white man, in a similar act of civil disobedience.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/plessy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>plessy</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>racism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/jimcrow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>jimcrow</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/gandhi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>gandhi</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/southafrica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>southafrica</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/civildisobedience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>civildisobedience</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/directaction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>directaction</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/brownvboardofeducation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>brownvboardofeducation</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/SCOTUS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>SCOTUS</span></a></p>

MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History May 11, 1963: The Birmingham riot began when racists set off several bombs targeting the African-American leaders of the Birmingham Campaign. The Campaign was a mass protest for racial justice. In response to the bombings, African American protesters burned down businesses and fought police in downtown Birmingham. They were frustrated both by the cops’ complicity in racist attacks against them, and the ineffectiveness of nonviolent protest. Governor Wallace deployed the state militia against the protesters. Many believe this event proved pivotal in Kennedy’s decision to propose a major civil rights bill.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/civilrights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>civilrights</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>racism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/alabama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>alabama</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/police" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>police</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/acab" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>acab</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/bombing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>bombing</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Riot" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Riot</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/jimcrow" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>jimcrow</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/birmingham" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>birmingham</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BlackMastadon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BlackMastadon</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/policebrutality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>policebrutality</span></a></p>
