Re: Ludlow Massacre
Thanks for the thread, Trish. It was states that had laws enforcing segregation, by race, and the national government that took powers to end it. Thanks to the Federal government, I, and any of my relatives can not be denied admittance to any school because of my race. And I can drink at any public water fountain, and use any public restroom . I was 15, when these rights were granted. It was the state national guard of Arkansas that deployed to keep Blacks out of Little Rock High School, and federal troops who were moved in to admit 9 Black students.
As for the subject of labor unions they greatly helped to bring prosperity to the average person. And this in turn fueled us to a great world economy. Certain conservatives claim that the marketplace will take care of anything. They are ignoring history. I can see why such events as the Ludlow Massacre is an important subject to be taught to our youth.

No problem Prospero. These boards are for all the members. And thank you yodajazz. That's precisely why I posted this thread. It seemed the right time for a reminder that ours is a government of, by and for the people.
