Today in 1859
John Brown and his followers, both Black and white, launched their epic and ill-fated raid on Harpers Ferry, West Virginia, to attack the horrific system of chattel slavery. While unsuccessful, Brown’s raid did more than almost anything else in the 1850s to highlight the differences between northern and southern labor systems and the moral bankruptcy of the latter.

Wave of Unrest Could See Tens of Thousands on Strike Within Weeks
Updated On: Oct 07, 2021
Oct. 6, 2021 | COLLECTIVE ACTION | Tens of thousands of workers around the US could go on strike in the coming weeks in what would be the largest wave of labor unrest since a series of teacher strikes in 2018 and 2019, which won major victories and gave the American labor movement a significant boost. The unrest spans a huge range of industries from healthcare to Hollywood and academia, and is largely focused on higher wages, fighting cuts, and better working and safety conditions, especially in light of Covid-19… The Guardian  Photo/Paul Sancya, AP
