MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History May 26, 1895: American photojournalist Dorothea Lange was born. She is best-known for her empathetic photographs of people during the Great Depression. However, she is also one of the first to document the suffering of Japanese Americans who were imprisoned during World War II.</p><p>Lange grew up poor, in New York’s Lower East Side. She was one of the only gentiles in her school, which was predominantly Jewish. As a young adult, she moved to San Francisco, where she began her career doing portraits for the wealthy. But as the depression began, she turned her camera to the streets, on hobo camps, refugees from Oklahoma, farmers, breadlines, the homeless, portraying the misery and desperation of the period, becoming one of the first photodocumentarians. 22 of her photographs were used in John Steinbeck’s 1936 journalistic series for the San Francisco news, The Harvest of Gypsies, and they served as an inspiration for the film version of Steinbeck’s Grapes of Wrath.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GreatDepression" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GreatDepression</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/poverty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>poverty</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ww2" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ww2</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/japanese" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>japanese</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/prison" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>prison</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ConcentrationCamp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ConcentrationCamp</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/journalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>journalism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/photography" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>photography</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/DorotheaLange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DorotheaLange</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/steinbeck" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>steinbeck</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/journalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>journalism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writer</span></a></p>

MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History February 27, 1902: John Steinbeck was born on this date in Salinas, California. He wrote numerous novels from the perspective of farmers and working-class people, including “The Grapes of Wrath,” “Tortilla Flats” “Of Mice and Men,” “Cannery Row,” and “East of Eden.” In 1935, he joined the communist League of American Writers. He faced contempt charges for refusing to cooperate with HUAC. The FBI and the IRS harassed him throughout his career. Yet he wrote glowingly about U.S. troops during the Vietnam War. He won the Nobel Prize for literature in 1962 and the Pulitzer in 1939.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/steinbeck" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>steinbeck</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/pulitzer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pulitzer</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NobelPrize" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>NobelPrize</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/strike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>strike</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/union" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>union</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/literature" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>literature</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fiction</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fbi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fbi</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/communism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>communism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/novel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>novel</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>author</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writer</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/immigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>immigration</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/poverty" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>poverty</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstadon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bookstadon</span></a></span></p>

MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History September 19, 1952: The United States barred Charlie Chaplin from re-entering the country after a trip to England. In 1947, his black comedy, Monsieur Verdoux, was released. In the film, he criticized capitalism and its reliance on wars and weapons of mass destruction. The FBI launched a formal investigation of him 1947, after public accusations that he was a communist. Chaplin denied the charges, calling himself a “peace monger.” Nevertheless, he protested the HUAC hearings and the U.S. trials of Communist Party members. Representative John Rankin called Chaplin's presence in Hollywood “detrimental to the moral fabric of America.” Writer George Orwell prepared list of people he believed were communists, which he gave to British intelligence before he died in 1949. The list included Chaplin and Michael Redgrave, as well as Paul Robeson, Katherine Hepburn, John Steinbeck and Orson Welles.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/communism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>communism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/hollywood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hollywood</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/anticommunism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>anticommunism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/charliechaplin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>charliechaplin</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/orsonwelles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>orsonwelles</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/steinbeck" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>steinbeck</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/orwell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>orwell</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fbi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fbi</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/huac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>huac</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/actor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>actor</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>author</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/novels" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>novels</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writer</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fiction</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstadon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bookstadon</span></a></span></p>
MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History August 27, 1934: 7,000 Filipino lettuce cutters and mainly white packing shed workers went on strike against the powerful Salinas Valley growers and shippers, demanding union recognition &amp; improved wages and working conditions. Many of the white workers were Dust Bowl refugees. Most of the Filipino workers had immigrated as U.S. nationals, after the U.S. took over the Philippines, in the wake of the Spanish-American and Filipino-American Wars, the latter of which included a genocide in which a quarter of a million Filipino civilians died of famine and disease. There was rampant persecution of Filipino workers in California. Laws prohibited Filipino women from immigrating to the U.S. and prevented Filipino men from consorting with Anglo women. The American Federation of Labor initially refused to recognize or support the Filipino Labor Union (FLU). Scabs and vigilantes viciously beat Filipino strikers and chased 800 out of the Salinas Valley at gunpoint. They also burned down a labor camp. Police arrested picketers and union leaders for violation of the Criminal Syndicalism laws (laws that prohibited advocating any change to the economic and political status quo). The FLU ultimately won a raise and union recognition. However, discrimination and racist violence against Filipinos continued.</p><p>Steinbeck wrote about the plight of Filipino migrant farmworkers in the Salinas Valley in a 1936 series of articles for the San Francisco News called “The Harvest of Gypsies,” which formed part of the basis for his novel, Grapes of Wrath. He said they were among the most discriminated, and best organized, ethnic group in the U.S. Their organizing, he went on to say, brought on terrorism against them by vigilantes and the government.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/union" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>union</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/strike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>strike</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/filipino" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>filipino</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/salinas" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>salinas</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/farmworkers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>farmworkers</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>racism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/immigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>immigration</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/colonialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>colonialism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/police" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>police</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/policebrutality" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>policebrutality</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/vigilantes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>vigilantes</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/dustbowl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>dustbowl</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/steinbeck" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>steinbeck</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/journalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>journalism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>author</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writer</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fiction</span></a> <span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstadon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bookstadon</span></a></span></p>

But Tom got into a book, crawled and groveled between the covers, tunneled like a mole among the thoughts, and came up with book all over his face and hands." --- John Steinbeck, "East of Eden" ch. 23, sec. 1.</p><p><a href="https://deacon.social/tags/reading" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>reading</span></a> <a href="https://deacon.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>books</span></a> <a href="https://deacon.social/tags/bookstodon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bookstodon</span></a> <a href="https://deacon.social/tags/Steinbeck" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Steinbeck</span></a></p>

MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History September 19, 1952: The United States barred Charlie Chaplin from re-entering the country after a trip to England. In 1947, his black comedy, Monsieur Verdoux, was released. In the film, he criticized capitalism and its reliance on wars and weapons of mass destruction. The FBI launched a formal investigation of him 1947, after public accusations that he was a communist. Chaplin denied the charges, calling himself a “peace monger.” Nevertheless, he protested the HUAC hearings and the U.S. trials of Communist Party members. Representative John Rankin called Chaplin's presence in Hollywood “detrimental to the moral fabric of America.” Writer George Orwell prepared list of people he believed were communists, which he gave to British intelligence before he died in 1949. The list included Chaplin and Michael Redgrave, as well as Paul Robeson, Katherine Hepburn, John Steinbeck and Orson Welles.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/WorkingClass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>WorkingClass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/communism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>communism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/hollywood" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>hollywood</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/anticommunism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>anticommunism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CharlieChaplin" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CharlieChaplin</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/OrsonWelles" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OrsonWelles</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Steinbeck" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Steinbeck</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/orwell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>orwell</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fbi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fbi</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/huac" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>huac</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/actor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>actor</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>writer</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fiction</span></a> <span class="h-card"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstadon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>bookstadon</span></a></span></p>
