Today in Labor History March 25, 1811: Oxford University expelled Percy Bysshe Shelley for publishing the pamphlet The Necessity of Atheism. Shelley was an English Romantic poet, radical in both his art and his politics. His poem "The Mask of Anarchy," which he wrote in 1819 after the Peterloo Massacre, is one of the first modern descriptions of nonviolent resistance. His admirers included Karl Marx, Gandhi and George Bernard Shaw. He was married to Mary Shelley, author of “Frankenstein.”

Tales of abuse from #ActivistBros isn't a new thing. Whether it's being closet abusers or control freaks -- positions of power are ripe for abuse (#Gandhi being another example). "Leaders" should be accountable, and allegations of abuse should always be looked into (yeah, I'm looking at you, #WinonaLaDuke).

#CesarChavez Was a Human Rights Icon. Allegedly, He Was Also Some Women’s Worst Nightmare.

Like so many abusers before him, his sterling public image provided the perfect cover.

"Cesar Chavez was a devoted workers’ rights advocate, a civil rights icon who improved the lives of millions of farmworkers through social activism and political organizing. According to allegations published Wednesday in the New York Times and on Medium, he was also a serial rapist and child abuser.

Multiple women have come forward with stories of being groomed as children and molested as young teens by Chavez. They say he used his position of reverence among labor leaders, Chicanos, and leftist activists to lure them in and earn their parents’ trust—some alleged victims were children of his associates—then told them to keep quiet about the abuse lest other girls get jealous. The accusers include #DoloresHuerta, Chavez’s longtime collaborator and a civil rights luminary in her own right, who said in a statement he pressured her into sex one time and forced her into it another."

Corriere.it - Homepage: Il primo articolo di Montale per il «Corriere», il racconto (non firmato) della morte di Gandhi: «L'apostolo della non violenza muore per effetto di un atto di violenza»

Il Mahatma è stato ucciso nell’ora in cui l’India e forse la stessa Inghilterra avevano più bisogno di lui. La storia si serve degli uomini, ma va al di là delle loro persone e non realizza mai i suoi fini secondo una logica prestabilita

Montale’s first article for the “Corriere” – the unsigned account of Gandhi’s death: “The apostle of nonviolence died as a result of an act of violence.”

The Mahatma was killed at the moment when India and perhaps even England most needed him. History uses men, but goes beyond their persons and never realizes its ends according to a predetermined logic.
