Markin comment:
For those not familiar with this heroic, if foolhardy, anarchist and long time companion of the anarchist lecturer Emma Goldman (whose biography has been reviewed in this space)he attempted to murder one Henry Frick, capitalist, and evil genius of the now famous and, for labor, unsuccessful Homestead Steel strike of 1892. That defeat, by the way, left the steel industry unorganized for the next forty or so years. Take that as a lesson as well as the futility of heroic , or otherwise, individual actions to turn the tide of history. Mass action is the key. So, let's get organized.
Every Month Is Labor History Month
This Commentary is part of a series under the following general title: Labor’s Untold Story- Reclaiming Our Labor History In Order To Fight Another Day-And Win!
As a first run through, and in some cases until I can get enough other sources in order to make a decent presentation, I will start with short entries on each topic that I will eventually go into greater detail about. Or, better yet, take my suggested topic and run with it yourself.
