On June 28, 1969, New York City police arrived at the Stonewall Inn, a bar in Greenwich Village that catered to the gay community, to conduct a routine raid and arrest any individuals found to be cross-dressing. The raid did not proceed routinely, and resulted in resistance and demonstrations by the bar’s patrons and other individuals who gathered around the scene. The Stonewall Riots are considered to be a spark that ignited the gay rights movement. This release was inspired by said events with the bra top being inspired by the date (the 28th), the pants being inspired by the thousands of different people that came together in order to stand up for something bigger then them. It was about humanity! We all offer something to human rights wether it’s a belt loop or a pocket or an entire pants leg. Either way do SOMETHING!️🌈️⚧️

“On April 28 and 29, 1962 Linus Pauling (Nobel Prize-winner for chemistry in 1954) and Ava Helen Pauling, with several hundred other demonstrators, marched in front of the White House to protest against the resumption of U.S. atmospheric nuclear testing.
The Paulings marched in advance of a White House dinner they were attending on the evening of April 29 for U.S. Nobel Prize winners.
Pauling had written to President John F. Kennedy twice that same year to make the same plea, on January 26 and on March 1, 1962. Here are excerpts from the January letter:
Dear Mr. President:
I urge that you not order the resumption of atmospheric tests of nuclear weapons by the United States.
So far the United States has carried out about twice as many test explosions of nuclear weapons as the Soviet Union. The megatonnage of the bombs tested by the Soviet Union is about 60 percent greater than that of the bombs tested by the United States, but it is the number of tests, rather than the total megatonnage, that determines the amount of information obtained. There is no doubt that the United States still has a great lead over the Soviet Union in nuclear weapons technology.
It is not necessary for the protection of the United States and the American people for our government to resume nuclear testing in the atmosphere.
There is general agreement among biological scientists about the biological effects of radioactive fallout. No one can deny that the fission products produced by these tests in the atmosphere cause genetic mutations that will lead to the birth of grossly defective children.”
Linus Pauling would go on to win the Nobel Peace Prize in Peace later that year. Indeed, he is the only person to have been awarded two unshared Nobel Prizes.

Professor Adriane Lentz-Smith (author of "Freedom Struggles: African Americans and World War I") speaking with teachers at the NEH summer institute on the Civil Rights Movement.

#tdih 1963 On this anniversary of the murder of four young girls at the 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham, Dorie Ladner shared this composite of two photos by Danny Lyon from the funeral. Read here: www.zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/16th-street-baptist-churc...
Dorie noted that the day of the bombing was full of "pain, sorrow, anger, and suffering; with no explanation for how man's inhumanity to man could be so cruel. At my age, it was unheard of to witness such brutality." She added that despite all that happened, "students continued organizing."
It is important (and may be surprising) to know why she is carrying the U.S. flag. Read here: www.teachingforchange.org/confederate-flag-and-civil-rights
#tdih On the anniversary of the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party (MFDP) in Atlantic City (and Howard Zinn's birthday), let's make sure students learn about one of the most important yet untold stories in U.S. history about the fight for real democracy. Historian Wesley Hogan explains, "Students in the 3rd and 4th grades learn about the 'committees of correspondence' during the Revolution and high schoolers learn about the Constitutional Convention debates of the 1780s. The MFDP was and is just as important a development for U.S. democratic practice as either of these foundational struggles. African Americans forced first the state of Mississippi, then the Democratic Party, and subsequently the nation as a whole to live out its uncashed promise of 'one man, one vote.'"
Please read and share the Zinn Education Project "If We Knew Our History" article about the MFDP: bit.ly/2vaPVZK

#tdih on June 12, 1963, WWII veteran Medgar Evers was murdered in the driveway outside his home in Jackson, Miss.
Evers had played a major role in the fight for human rights and democracy in the U.S. Building on and supported by an earlier generation of activists, including Dr. T. R. M. Howard of Mound Bayou, Evers organized NAACP and NAACP youth chapters, registered African Americans to vote, and investigated cases of domestic terrorism against African Americans. For example, he was instrumental in getting witnesses and evidence for the Emmett Till murder case.
#tdih Jan. 13, 1874: the NYC Tompkins Square Riot During a devastating economic depression, a demonstration was held to lobby for public works projects to provide jobs. Police attacked. Howard Zinn quotes a newspaper in A People's History: "Police clubs rose and fell. Women and children ran screaming in all directions. Many of them were trampled underfoot in the stampede for the gates. In the street bystanders were ridden down and mercilessly clubbed by mounted officers." This is one of many stories of worker protests during this period, described in detail in A People's History of the United States, Chapter 10: The Other Civil War. bit.ly/1wTBAGe

#tdih On Nov 6. 1965, five men burned their draft cards in solidarity with Catholic pacifist David Miller who became the first U.S. war protester to publicly burn his draft card on 10/15/65 in direct violation of a recently passed federal law forbidding such acts. FBI agents later arrested him; he was tried, found guilty, and sentenced to two years’ in prison.

#tdih 1965, the famous Delano grape strike began. Ask your students who organized it -- then ask again. They probably don't know that the organizers were Filipino American labor leaders Larry Itliong and Philip Vera Cruz of the Agricultural Workers Organizing Committee. "Sept. 8, 1965, at the Filipino Hall at 1457 Glenwood St. in Delano, the Filipino members of AWOC held a mass meeting to discuss and decide whether to strike or to accept the reduced wages proposed by the growers. The decision was 'to strike" and it became one of the most significant and famous decisions ever made in the entire history of the farmworkers struggles in California. It was like an incendiary bomb, exploding out the strike message to the workers in the vineyards, telling them to have sit-ins in the labor camps, and set up picket lines at every grower's ranch…" -- Philip Vera Cruz Painting: Mural in Los Angeles depicting Philip Vera Cruz and Larry Itliong.

#tdih On Nov. 12, 1991 Indonesian troops fired on a peaceful memorial procession in a cemetery in Dili, East Timor, killing more than 270 East Timorese. This attack was not the first, nor the largest. However it was the first to be witnessed and documented by foreign journalists (Amy Goodman, Allan Nairn, Max Stahl) and resulted in an international outcry against the brutality of the Indonesian occupation and demands for a free East Timor.

#tdih On Jan. 25, 1941, A Philip Randolph, president of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters union, made the official call for a march on Washington, with the demand to end segregation in defense industries. The threatened March on Washington led to Executive Order 8802, stating that there should be "no discrimination in the employment of workers in defense industries or Government because of race, creed, color, or national origin." The March on Washington Movement (MOWM) continued. Read more on BlackPast.org: bit.ly/1dXvvnz Randolph stated that the goal of the MOWM was not just desegregation and an end to war. He said, "Unless this war sound the death knell to the old Anglo-American empire systems, the hapless story of which is one of exploitation for the profit and power of a monopoly-capitalist economy, it will have been fought in vain. Our aim then must not only be to defeat Nazism, fascism, and militarism on the battlefield but to win the peace, for democracy, for freedom and the Brotherhood [and Sisterhood] . . . " Read full speech here: www.aasp.umd.edu/chateauvert/mowmcall.htm The 1963 March on Washington also began with a focus on African American labor rights, as Bill Fletcher Jr explains in this Zinn Education Project article here: bit.ly/1dXvdx2 Image from the Library of Congress.
#tdih On Jan. 25, 1972, Shirley Chisholm, the first Black woman elected to Congress, opened her historic campaign for President. She stated that 1972 must be the year that “women, blacks, brown, the young, the old, activists for social change, and just people who are tired of reading the election results before the votes are counted – are going to prove that our candidates and our policies and our government are not the exclusive preserve of the financial community, the political establishment, and the opinion polls.” Chisholm was outspoken on behalf of civil rights legislation, the Equal Rights Amendment, and a minimum family income; she opposed wiretapping, domestic spying, and the Vietnam War.

#tdih On Nov. 13, 1953 (during the McCarthy era) Mrs. White of the Indiana Textbook Commission, called for the removal of references to Robin Hood in the state's schools. White claimed that there was "a Communist directive in education now to stress the story of Robin Hood because he robbed the rich and gave it to the poor." On Mar. 1, 1954, five undergraduate students at Indiana University launched a protest of McCarthyism, calling themselves Robin Hood's Merry Men [and women] and using the green feather as their symbol in response to White's attack on Robin Hood. The movement spread. Click the link below to learn more and donate for a button today. (And donate so we can continue to provide people's history resources for teachers across the country.)
#tdih On this day in 1925, the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters (BSCP) was launched. Leaders included A. Philip Randolph.

1954 Norfolk Tars, Team and Stadium Integrated Important Photo of Baseball Social Change
Size: 8x10. Vintage 1.
By 1953, many things in baseball had changed but others were still woefully stuck in the past. As expected, the south lagged behind in integration both on the field and in the stands, but things were starting to change. Social pressure from Civil Rights organizations started the ball rolling and boycotts led to both black players being allowed on the Norfolk Tars baseball team, and the complete desegregation of the seating in the stands! Offered here is a rare image of the moment things changed as the six new black players on the Tars roster were pictured in uniform for the first time with their manager Skeeter Scalzi and posing at the new integrated stadium! Entire articles and websites are devoted to this team and the social change they ushered into Virginia and as such, it is an important piece of baseball history! There is a nice article written about the team and its impact on the Civil Rights Movement here www.zinnedproject.org/news/tdih/norfolk-desegregates-base...
#tdih On November 14, 1889, pioneering journalist Nellie Bly (aka Elizabeth Cochrane) began a successful attempt to travel around the world in less than 80 days. As a reporter, Bly sided with the poor and the disenfranchised, as when she went to Chicago in 1894 to cover the Pullman Strike from the perspective of the strikers. She also had herself committed to a mental institution so that she could do undercover reporting and expose the cruel conditions.

-------------------------------------------
This 24 cents airmail stamp was issued by America on 10 May 1918 (= Scott Catalogue # C3a). It depicts a "Jenny", an early JN-4-H airplane. It is part of a set of America's first-ever airmail stamps. The other stamps are a 6 cents orange and a 16 cents green. The 24 cents stamp is bicolored, with carmine and blue.
In May 1918, one sheet of 100 stamps of the 24 cents value was sold in Washington D.C. that had the blue airplane upside-down, compared with the carmine frame. This was caused by a printing error. Each color was printed separately, and apparently a sheet was put into the blue printing press upside-down. The result was the # 1 most famous and valuable error stamp in history.
This example is part of the National Postal Museum collection (Smithsonian Institution) in Washington D.C. It is position # 70 from the original sheet.

#tdih On this anniversary of the Alexander v. Holmes County Board of Education Supreme Court ruling on desegregation (Oct. 29, 1969), we remember the vital work of Charles Hamilton Houston who paved the way for many of the legal victories of the Civil Rights Movement. As he prepared the lawyers whose names and cases we recognize today he explained: “A lawyer is either a social engineer or [s]he is a parasite on society.” He also recognized that laws alone are not enough: “There’s a difference between law on the books and the law in action.” Learn more in the film "The Road to Brown" from California Newsreel: bit.ly/QOIoSJ A poster of a portrait of Houston by Robert Shetterly can be ordered from Americans Who Tell the Truth for $20: bit.ly/1wFoRtw Photo ca 1940 by Addison N.

"It is the public that is being asked to assume the risks that the insect controllers calculate. The public must decide whether it wishes to continue on the present road, and it can do so only when in full possession of the facts." On #tdih 4/13/1962, Rachel Carson's book indicting the pesticide industry, Silent Spring, was published. The scientist and writer demonstrated the connection between the excessive and ubiquitous use of DDT and its long-term effect on plants and animals. The impact of her book proved seminal to a new ecological awareness. But even 30 years later, Carson was denounced for “preservationist hysteria” and “bad science."
