Today in Labor and Writing History July 10, 1925: The Scopes "Monkey Trial" Trial began in Dayton, Tennessee. John T. Scopes was a high school science teacher accused of violating the Butler Act, which made it unlawful to teach human evolution in any state-funded school. Scopes was found guilty and fined $100, but the verdict was overturned on a technicality. Jerome Lawrence and Robert Edwin Lee wrote about it in their play “Inherit the Wind” (1955). However, they said that their play was a response to the McCarthy anticommunist witch hunt and a statement in support of free speech. Ronald Kidd's 2006 novel, “Monkey Town: The Summer of the Scopes Trial,” was also based on the Scopes Trial. Scopes was defended by labor Clarence Darrow, who had defended Eugene Debs, during the Pullman strike (1893); and Big Bill Haywood against false murder charges (1905); and the McNamara brothers for the false charges in the L.A. Times bombing (1910).

I’ve been watching ‘Fellow Travellers’ on Paramount+.
Fictional story, but more than a few grains of truth in it.
Roy Cohn - sleazeball sidekick to McCarthy and sleazeball mentor to Agent Orange - plays an oversized role in the series.
And you realize you find a direct line between the 50s and now - Donna has learned well.

Ich höre gerade den #Kommentatorentalk von #RadioEins, die gerade u.a. über das Verbot der #afd #noafd diskutieren.

Mir geht dieses Risiko-Geschwafel so dermaßen auf die Nerven!

Denn wer bitte spricht heute noch von der #KPD?! Richtig: Niemand.

Und warum? Weil sie verboten wurde - und zwar durchaus mit politischem Willen von #McCarthy und #Adenauer!

Was heißt das? #Parteiverbotsverfahren wirkt!

Die afd ist deutlich verfassungsfeindlicher KPD!

Ja, das 'Committee on Government Operations' unter dem Vorsitz des Republikaners #McCarthy wird uns wie ein Puppenspiel vorkommen. Emigration wird aber für Verfolgte kein Ausweg sein, da praktisch alle infrage kommenden Staaten sich wohlverhalten müssen, weil Trump ihnen gemeinsam mit Putin und den Scheichs noch viel besser den Ölhahn abdrehen kann als 1973 die OPEC.

Aber Erdöl sicher Wohlstand und der Verbrenner bedeutet Freiheit!

Today in Labor History May 3, 1919: Pete Seeger was born, Patterson, New York. He started his folk singing career in the 1940s, with the Almanac singers. This group included Woodie Guthrie, Cisco Houston and Bess Lomax Hawes. They sang about industrial unionism and racial inclusiveness. In the 1950s, they reconstituted as the Weavers. However, they were blacklisted by the McCarthyites. As a result, radio stations stopped playing their records and their bookings were cancelled. Seeger was a member of the Communist Party USA, but left it in 1949. He was also an early backer of Bob Dylan until he went electric and Seeger threatened to unplug him at the 1965 Newport Folk Festival. youtu.be/0fhL1E2cvvI
