Today in Labor History September 10, 1962: The U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Civil Rights Leader, James Meredith, could be admitted to the University of Mississippi. White rioters burned cars, pelted federal agents and soldiers with rocks, bricks and shot at them. 31,000 soldiers were sent to quell the violence, the largest ever use of the Insurrection Act of 1807. Two people died. Meredith was harassed throughout his time at the university. He went on to organize the March against Fear from Memphis to Jackson. He also was active in the Voting Rights movement. He went on to become an adviser to the right-wing, segregationist Senator Jesse Helms.

Today in Labor History September 3, 1838: Frederick Douglass escaped from slavery in Baltimore, Maryland to freedom in the north, where he became a leader of the abolitionist movement. During his lifetime, he wrote 3 autobiographies and became a best-selling author. He also fought for women’s suffrage and was the first black man nominated to run for vice president. Douglass opposed colonialism and segregated schools. He was the most photographed American of the 19th century, never smiling once for the camera so as to not play into the racist myth of the happy slave.

Something far more serious and somber from when I wandered around Pittsburgh on June 30: at the #HeinzMuseum they had an amazing Smithsonian exhibit on The Green Book and segregation in the early 20th century spanning all the way into the 1970s. Somber and eye-opening.

There was an amazing interactive exhibit where you were taking a trip through the US and making decisions based on information in the Green Book. Extremely well-done.

On Aug. 28, 1963, a crowd of a quarter-million people came together on the National Mall with a shared purpose of striving for #socialjustice, the end of #segregation, #fairwages, economic #opportunities and the rights of full #citizenship. Many historians credit the march for pressuring the #Kennedy administration to act on #civilrights, eventually leading to the passage of the #CivilRightsAct in 1964 and the #VotingRightsAct of 1965. The momentous day concluded with #King delivering his iconic “#IHaveaDream” speech at the Lincoln Memorial.

Through their #consumer #choices to save money at all costs, many liberals as well as conservatives have come to depend on #gigeconomy industries. They have sometimes also played an active role in #housing and #school #segregation, all in the name of doing what’s best for their families, even though they know that they are #sustaining a #regime that keeps the #poor poor.

Sur les réseaux sociaux, un rendez-vous a été lancé pour réunir le maximum de personnes dimanche 26 août. Avec short et frigobox, bien sûr.

These Nazis Want to Turn New England Into a White Ethnostate

White supremacists are calling for a “peaceful separation” from the United States — and a ban on people of color moving to New England.

Almost halfway through this video, Dr. Manning talks about the “separate-but-equal” days of her hospital, where segregation meant that the white side of the building was clean and well-maintained, but the Black side was a dump.

Once again, #Elon has cast himself, and the white Dutch invaders of #SouthAfrica as the #victim. And he's cast the #NewYorkTimes as the enemy for committing the crime of reporting on an anti-#apartheid rally. Because as we all know, it's the poor white farmers who were victimized by four-plus decades #segregation. 🙄 Elon must be afraid that his family's emerald mine could be at risk.

“The parent said she has since been reassured by her principal that he plans to staff core classes w/certified teachers, a decision that is made on a campus-by-campus basis. Still, she remains worried about the quality of edu at NES schools.”

Ya think?
& I’m betting… that their teaching contract doesn’t include…training their colleagues?

This smacks of #segregation to me!
I bet those rich white suburban schools won’t have #uncertified #teachers #texas

"#French riots show how entrenched #inequalities have become. The gulf between #immigrants and those born in the country is larger than in almost any other developed nation.
Imagine two countries. The first is proudly Christian, it allowed racial #segregation in living memory and #racism is mentioned more frequently in its media than anywhere else in the developed world. The second is strictly secular and legally prohibits the collection of #data on people’s race, a conscious effort by its leaders to avoid using #ethnicity to differentiate or divide.
Which do you think would offer people from diverse #racial and religious backgrounds the best prospects of success? Of becoming equal participants in society? The answers revealed in the data are surprising."
10 charts showing greater inequalities in #France compared to #UK, #Germany and sometimes #US.
Depicted chart : "Black and brown people are disproportionately likely to be stopped by police across the west, but the disparities are truly huge in France."
Chance of being stopped and searched by #police, relative to #white people in #London is ×2 or ×3 for #black people, compared to ×6 in #Paris and even more than ×7 for #arabs.
