afloweroutofstone:bolbiistroganovsky:afloweroutofstone:Over 100 BLM protestors lined up along the side of the highway in Harlan County, Kentucky. The town of Harlan is 91% white.I literally just posted this post but whatever lol. I’m actually not surprised at all. Harlan County Kentucky has a long labor activist history. A year long coal miner’s strike happened there in the 70s I believe that included lots of police brutality so it’s not surprising to me that they’d know when it’s time to support others going through the same thing. There’s a great movie about it called Harlan County, USAExactly, and it was the location of a massive battle between miners’ unions and coal companies in the early 1930′s! They say in Harlan CountyThere are no neutrals thereYou’ll either be a union manOr a thug for J.H. BlairWhich side are you on, boys?Which side are you on? -- source link
