Thanks for posting this and posts similar. I think it's really important for - (A) people to know their herstory/history, and - (B) to take a stand on issues of today, yesterday, and tomorrow.
You can go anywhere on the internet and get a recipe for brioche or a sourdough loaf but I appreciate people like you and your friend Andrew Janjigian who offer a more complete picture of what it means to be a contributing, engaged member of our society. We need more people like you who act responsibly in a time when attention to the things around us and our impacts are so important. Keep up the good work. Thank you, Bill
Thanks for sharing some of the labor history in your area! I grew up in southeastern Michigan, where the UAW is still a big deal. My mom was always proud of the fact that her brother-in-law had participated in a pivotal sit-down strike in 1930's Flint (a Fisher Body plant, which was a GM subsidiary). Talk about history books coming to life!

Wow, thank you for saying so Bill! Writers hardly know how our words land, so it’s terrific to get such a strong vote!

So cool to imagine!
