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 noreferrer" target="_blank">#workingclass</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LaborHistory</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/scottsboroboys" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#scottsboroboys</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#racism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/lynching" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#lynching</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/rape" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#rape</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/prison" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#prison</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/langstonhughes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#langstonhughes</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/richardwright" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#richardwright</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/novel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#novel</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/naacp" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#naacp</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/communism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#communism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/books" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#books</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/author" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#author</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/writer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#writer</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fiction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fiction</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/alabama" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#alabama</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BlackMastadon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BlackMastadon</a> <a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/bookstadon" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@bookstadon</a>

Dear Brother at home:We captured a wounded Moor today. He was just as dark as me. I said, Boy, what you been doin' here Fightin' against the free?He answered something in a language I couldn't understand. But somebody told me he was sayin' They nabbed him in his landAnd made him join the fascist army And come across to Spain. And he said he had a feelin' He'd never get back home again.He said he had a feelin' This whole thing wasn't right. He said he didn't know The folks he had to fight.And as he lay there dying In a village we had taken, I looked across to Africa And seed foundations shakin'.Cause if a free Spain wins this war, The colonies, too, are free — Then something wonderful'll happen To them Moors as dark as me.I said, I guess that's why old England And I reckon Italy, too, Is afraid to let a workers' Spain Be too good to me and you —Cause they got slaves in Africa — And they don't want 'em to be free. Listen, Moorish prisoner, hell! Here, shake hands with me!I knelt down there beside him, And I took his hand — But the wounded Moor was dyin' And he didn't understand.Salud, Johnny" -- Langston Hughes<a href="https://www.poetrynook.com/poem/letter-spain" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.poetrynook.com/poem/letter-spain</a>
