Bloody Thursday
There was a screening in Olympia, WA this past Thursday. Next Wave Committee of WFSE 443, AFSCME Council 28, pulled it together. They are doing great work, and it is yet again a reason to believe in the future because of the youth.
Labor Historian Ruth Lipow spoke. That title does NOT do her justice. I found this link for a great overview of her. Anyone denounced as a communist to the House UnAmerican Activities Committee has to have been doing something right.
