Today in Labor History June 2, 1919: Anarchist Galleanists carried out a series of 9 coordinated bombings across the Eastern United States. They damaged the homes of U.S. Attorney General A. Mitchell Palmer, as well as then Assistant Secretary of the Navy, Franklin D. Roosevelt. They also targeted a number of judges. None of the targeted men died, although a night watchman, a former editor of the Galleanist publication “Cronaca Sovversiva,” did accidentally get killed. The bombs were delivered in packages that included the following note: “War, Class war, and you were the first to wage it under the cover of the powerful institutions you call order, in the darkness of your laws. There will have to be bloodshed; we will not dodge; there will have to be murder: we will kill, because it is necessary; there will have to be destruction; we will destroy to rid the world of your tyrannical institutions.”
The response by Palmer included mass illegal search and seizures, unwarranted arrests and the deportation of several hundred suspected radicals and anarchists. He also carried the nationwide witch hunts known as the Palmer raids in November 1919 and January 1920, arresting 10,000 anarchists, communists, and labor leaders, imprisoning 3,500, and deporting 556, including Emma Goldman and Alexander Berkman. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), was founded in response to the raid, by IWW organizer Elizabeth Gurley Flynn, Helen Keller, and others.

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched—they must be felt with the heart.

The friendship between Anne Sullivan and Helen Keller stands as a remarkable example of human resilience and the transformative power of education. In 1882, Helen Keller, at just nineteen months old, lost her sight and hearing due to an illness, likely scarlet fever or meningitis. By age six, she struggled with communication, often resorting to frustration and violent behavior. Her parents sought help from the Perkins Institution for the Blind, which sent Anne Sullivan, a young teacher who had partially regained her own sight after multiple surgeries. Sullivan began teaching Keller by spelling words into her hand using the manual alphabet, though Keller initially did not understand the connection between the words and objects. The breakthrough came on April 5, 1887, when Sullivan demonstrated the word 'water' at an outdoor pump, awakening Keller’s understanding that objects have names. This moment marked the start of Keller's incredible intellectual journey, as she quickly learned new words and began to communicate more effectively. Sullivan remained Keller’s dedicated teacher, interpreter, and companion for decades, guiding her through Radcliffe College, where Keller became the first deaf-blind person to earn a Bachelor of Arts degree in 1904. Together, they traveled and advocated for causes such as disability rights, women’s suffrage, and workers’ rights. Even after Sullivan’s health declined, she remained Keller’s vital connection to the world. Their enduring partnership has been immortalized in the play and film 'The Miracle Worker,' highlighting the power of patience, dedication, and education.
