Today in Labor History August 15, 1906: W.E.B. DuBois demanded equal citizenship rights for African-Americans during the second meeting of the Niagara Movement, saying, "We will not be satisfied to take one jot or little less than our full manhood." Founders of the movement named it for the “mighty current” of change they hoped to achieve. DuBois made his famous statement at Harper’s Ferry, sight of the failed insurrection led by John Brown, in 1859. For a wonderful speculative fiction story based on the premise that John Brown had succeeded in his raid, with the help of Harriet Tubman, read Terry Bisson’s “Fire on the Mountain” (1988).
In addition to cofounding the Niagara Movement, DuBois also cofounded the NAACP. He devoted his life to fighting racism, segregation, Jim Crow and lynchings. DuBois opposed capitalism and blamed it for much of the racism in America. He was also a prolific writer, an anti-nuclear and peace activist, and a proponent of Pan-Africanism.

@Deglassco it's a really nice national park, we did that in the morning and finished the day 60 miles up the road on a self guided driving tour of Gettysburg!
I you find yourself at #HarpersFerry and you enjoy beer I suggest typing #AdroitTheory into your mapping app and following those directions, the brewery is like 20 miles south and worth every single mile of the drive!
@Deglassco @blackmastodon@a.gup.pe @BlackMastodon@chirp.social I just spent four or five hours walking my son's through #HarpersFerry fascinating history and amazing as the jump off point for the Civil War especially since #RobertELee was the lead officer for the US Army!
#HarpersFerry is not too far from #AdroitTheory brewery, ask me why I know that.........
Went to an awesome brewery last night. Love discovering new places. #HarpersFerry #Brewery

Today in Labor History February 25, 1870: Hiram Rhodes Revels was sworn into the U.S. Senate, becoming the first African American ever to sit in Congress. He was a Republican from Mississippi. His cousins were killed participating in John Brown’s raid on Harpers Ferry. During the Civil War, he helped recruit and organize two black Union regiments.

Als ihr zu Ohren kam, dass der weiße #Abolitionist #JohnBrown einen Aufstand gegen die Sklaverei plante, stellte Mary Ellen Pleasant ihm bis zu 30.000 Dollar zur Verfügung. John Browns Überfall auf #HarpersFerry ist ein Meilenstein der Amerikanischen Geschichte, auch wenn der Versuch scheiterte und wenig später der Amerikanische Bürgerkrieg ausbrach.
