MikeDunnAuthorToday in Labor History March 25, 1931: The authorities arrested the Scottsboro Boys in Alabama and charged them with rape. The Scottsboro Boys were nine African American youths, ages 13 to 20, falsely accused of raping two white women. A lynch mob tried to murder them before they had even been indicted. All-white juries convicted each of them. Several judges gave death sentences, a common practice in Alabama at the time for black men convicted of raping white women. The Communist Party and the NAACP fought to get the cases appealed and retried. Finally, after numerous retrials and years in harsh prisons, four of the Scottsboro Boys were acquitted and released. The other five were got sentences ranging from 75 years to death. All were released or escaped by 1946. Poet and playwright Langston Hughes wrote it in his work Scottsboro Limited. And Richard Wright's 1940 novel Native Son was influenced by the case.<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#workingclass</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#LaborHistory</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/scottsboroboys" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#scottsboroboys</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#racism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/lynching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#lynching</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/rape" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#rape</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/prison" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#prison</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/langstonhughes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#langstonhughes</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/richardwright" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#richardwright</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/novel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#novel</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/naacp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#naacp</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/communism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#communism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#books</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#author</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#writer</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#fiction</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/alabama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#alabama</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BlackMastadon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#BlackMastadon</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstadon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@bookstadon</a>

It's so unoriginal And I feel it worse at night I know it's not terminal But I'm near half-dead fright And freezing cold. But sooner than woke up To find it all unchanged I'll sleep through the day til the daylight ends. 'Cause it's all so familiar As it comes around again The same taste to everything The same unbroken chain That still remains. With morning I rise, A dream that won't leave me, You're sad, naked and pale And you're reaching for the rail You took a look inside, how could you peel away Or break the shell, the hurt you've hidden so well For all your days. And you're going down As you slip beneath the waves, Won't make a sound Won't even leave a trace before you. I hear an appalling sigh from the streets below And it's creeping fear congealed in stone That paves the crazy road. And all are succumbing and they look so hopelessly At the heartbreak, it's easy to deal with, Just take these and you'll really never feel it. <a href="https://i.redsnake.io/watch?v=N9SKH5rF_c0" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://i.redsnake.io/watch?v=N9SKH5rF_c0</a>
