Seven and a half cents or fight

Strike in Rhode Island, 1935, Leslie Jones

80 years ago the government dealt with strikers by bringing in the Army. Via Posthip Scott. Reminds me of Facebook Post by Tam from a couple of days ago:

For a full three quarters of this nation's history, it would have been the cops opening fire on the protestors and not the other way around.
Everybody needs to get some fucking perspective.
