Today in Labor History: March 28, 1968: Martin Luther King led a march of striking sanitation workers in Memphis, Tennessee. Police attacked the workers with mace and sticks. A 16-year old boy was shot. 280 workers were arrested. He was assassinated a few days later after speaking to the striking workers. The sanitation workers were mostly black. They worked for starvation wages under plantation like conditions, generally under racist white bosses. Workers could be fired for being one minute late or for talking back, and they got no breaks. Organizing escalated in the early 1960s and reached its peak in February, 1968, when two workers were crushed to death in the back of a garbage truck.

@Thumptastic3 I know, it's terrible how they treated this poor lady, who was trying her best to comply, and had a really good attitude. Here is another one, from a week later, I suspect the police were targeting her, to meet their arrest quota for that day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cKdJ5omz1NA&t=366s #racism #policebrutality #blm #defundthepolice

NBC NewsToday in Labor History March 21, 1965: 3,200 people began the third march from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama, to protest racial violence. Earlier efforts to hold the march had failed when police attacked demonstrators and a minister was fatally beaten by a group of Selma whites. The five-day walk ended March 26, when 20,000 people joined the marchers in front of the Alabama state Capitol in Montgomery. This time they were defended by national guards and FBI agents. Soon after, Congress passed the Voting Rights Act of 1965.

Today in Labor History March 19, 1935: Harlem Uprising occurred, during the Great Depression, after rumors circulated that a black Puerto Rican teenage shoplifter was beaten by employees at an S. H. Kress "five and dime" store, and then killed by the police. Protests were quickly organized by the Young Liberators and the Young Communist League, which were promptly declared illegal by the police. Participants smashed windows of the store and began looting. The protest and looting spread, causing $200 million in damages. Police arrested 125 people and killed 3. Mayor LaGuardia set up a multi-racial Commission to investigate the causes of the riot, headed by African-American sociologist E. Franklin Frazier and with members including labor leader A. Philip Randolph. The identified "injustices of discrimination in employment, the aggressions of the police, and the racial segregation" as conditions which led to the outbreak of rioting, and congratulated the Communist organizations as deserving "more credit than any other element in Harlem for preventing a physical conflict between whites and blacks".

Today a peaceful protest against #police #brutality was met with #PoliceBrutality.
The police launched tear gas into the crowd in a deliberate attempt to create panic, and randomly charged through the march in a group. Those unlucky enough to be in the path of their run were arrested. After the march ended, several protesters were grabbed and taken away for nothing more than standing in a public park.
I’m not repeating second-hand information or spreading rumours. These are things I witnessed for myself.
It’s hard to have any confidence in our system of police when things like this are happening immediately in front of me.
The policing problem in #Montréal is as real as it is anywhere else.
