MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History November 29, 1969: The cover of the Black Panther Party paper portrayed an image of pigs being killed. The ubiquitous pig artworks in the BPP paper, created by Minister of Culture Emory Douglas, helped to popularize the use of the term “pig” as a pejorative for police in the late 1960s. Headlines in this issue of their paper included “S.F. Pigs Beat-Choke Chairman Bobby Seale,” and “Shackled Like a Slave,” the latter referring to how Seale was shackled and gagged in the courtroom of Julius Hoffman, just one month prior, during the 1969 trial of the Chicago Eight, in the aftermath of the Days of Rage protests and police riot during the Democratic National Convention in 1968.</p><p>At the age of 13, Emory Douglas served time at a youth prison in Ontario, California, where he worked in the facility's printing shop and learned the basics of commercial printing. In 1960, he attended City College of San Francisco where he studied graphic design. There he joined the Black Students’ Association and worked with poet and playwright Amiri Baraka, designing theater sets. He joined the BPP in 1967, drawn to its dedication to self-defense. As one of the main artists for the Panther’s newspaper, he developed iconic images depicting policemen as bloodied or hanged pigs. His artwork also portrayed the Panther’s free breakfast program, free health clinics, and free legal aid. In 1970, he cofounded the revolutionary funk band, The Lumpen, which collaborated with Muhammad Ali and Curtis Mayfield on a prison concert at San Quentin. At that concert, they performed "Free Bobby Now" and "Ol' Pig Nixon," before the prison guards shut them down during a rendition of "Revolution is the Only Solution." The Lumpen influenced bands like Public Enemy, Dead Prez, and The Coup. Check out the excellent book about the band, “Party Music,” by music historian @RickyVincent, or see Vincent in person, next week, at the Howard Zinn Book Fair, where he’ll be discussing his book and sharing music clips.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/blackpanthers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>blackpanthers</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/cartoons" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cartoons</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/emorydouglas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>emorydouglas</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/thelumpen" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>thelumpen</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/funk" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>funk</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>racism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/blackpower" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>blackpower</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/revolution" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>revolution</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BlackMastodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BlackMastodon</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>author</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writer</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstadon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bookstadon</span></a></span></p>

Flipboard News Desk<p>Indigenous actor Elaine Miles, best known for her roles in "Northern Exposure," "Smoke Signals," Wyvern" and "The Last of Us," was stopped by ICE earlier this month in Redmond, Wa. She showed her tribal ID from the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation in Oregon, a federally recognized form of identification. An agent called her document "fake," saying "anyone can make that." She was released shortly afterwards, but says in a social media post that a similar thing happened to both her son and uncle. Indigenous rights attorney Gabriel Galanda, who does not represent Miles, says it's racial profiling. “People are getting pulled over or detained on the street because of the dark color of their skin.” Here's more from The Seattle Times.</p><p><a href="https://flip.it/rF4QCo" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">flip.it/rF4QCo</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/ElaineMiles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ElaineMiles</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Indigenous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Indigenous</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/IndigenousRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>IndigenousRights</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Immigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Immigration</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/USImmigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USImmigration</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/ICE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ICE</span></a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Racism</span></a></p>

RonSupportsYou<p>Sen. Chris Murphy: "This is the scandal. Trump isn’t targeting dangerous people for arrest and deportation. He’s targeting peaceful immigrants. Almost exclusively ... Just 5% of people detained by ICE since October 1 have had violent criminal convictions, 75% had no criminal convictions at all. Most 'criminals' had immigration, traffic, and vice offenses.

MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History November 26, 1970: Indigenous activists from the American Indian Movement (AIM) occupied Plymouth Rock in a National Day of Mourning. The protest was sparked when officials from the state of Massachusetts censored a speech to be given by Frank James (Wamsutta), an Aquinnah Wampanoag, on the 350th anniversary of the landing of the Pilgrims. Their rationale was that “anything inflammatory would have been out of place” on this “celebration of brotherhood.” In his speech, James talked about atrocities like the loss of native languages, culture, land, and life. </p><p>“Our spirit refuses to die. . . We stand tall and proud, and before too many moons pass we’ll right the wrongs we have allowed to happen to us. We forfeited our country. Our lands have fallen into the hands of the aggressor. We have allowed the white man to keep us on our knees. What has happened cannot be changed, but today we must work towards a more humane America, a more Indian America, where men and nature once again are important; where the Indian values of honor, truth, and brotherhood prevail. You the white man are celebrating an anniversary. We, the Wampanoags, will help you celebrate in the concept of a beginning. It was the beginning of a new life for the Pilgrims. Now, 350 years later it is a beginning of a new determination for the original American: the American Indian.”</p><p>Indigenous people have continued to commemorate the National Day of Mourning in Plymouth every year since 1970. In 1997, police attacked the peaceful demonstration with pepper spray and arrested 25 protestors.</p><p>You can read the James’s full speech here: <a href="http://www.blackcommentator.com/207/207_day_of_mourning_wampsutta_pf.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">http://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">blackcommentator.com/207/207_d</span><span class="invisible">ay_of_mourning_wampsutta_pf.html</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/indigenous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>indigenous</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AmericanIndianMovement" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AmericanIndianMovement</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AIM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>AIM</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/genocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>genocide</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>racism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/freespeech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>freespeech</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/censorship" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>censorship</span></a></p>
