TAbolitionist John Brown leads 18 men in an attack on the Harpers Ferry armory. The raid to seize the weapons failed and Brown was captured, tried, and hung. At his trial, Brown said: “Now, if it is deemed necessary that I should forfeit my life for the furtherance of the ends of justice, and mingle my blood…with the blood of millions in this slave country whose rights are disregarded by wicked, cruel, and unjust enactments, I submit; so let it be done!”

Teamster nurses leave picket line to help church shooting/fire victims...
Oct. 1, 2025 | For going on five weeks, Eva Kerzka and about 700 other nurses employed by the Henry Ford Genesys Hospital had been on strike (see earlier post below) amid negotiations on a new labor contract. The nurses gathered daily on the grassy shoulder [nearby], waving protest signs and chanting. But on Sunday, Kerzka saw police cars and ambulances flying past her spot on the picket line and later noticed black smoke rising toward the sky from a church about a mile away. With permission from the president of Teamsters Local 332, she and other nurses left the picket line and raced to the hospital, to the church, and to a nearby triage center to offer whatever help they could. CNN  But! Administrators ordered the nurses out of the hospital when they arrived.
