Just found your channel, if you ever go threw Arkansas i can give you lot's of information and places of some extremely awful crimes. Some played out like a movie. New Sub
I’d love to hear some, I may be heading through sometime! I actually read about Ned Cobb from a communist, who mentioned that the party was interested in organizing a protest like one that happened in Arkansas - after an incident where farmers peacefully marched to the general store and snatched their food back, over 100 Black workers were massacred in Elaine. After this, CPUSA was more careful about interracial organizing.
@@jpb1231000 The natives in this area were mostly Creek, and that history is still celebrated here. Cobb’s grave is only a few miles from the final battle, Horseshoe Bend. I hope to do a longer video on white tenant farmers, they supported Ned Cobb’s union but were kicked out after many of them joined the posse to kill Ralph Gray. Blacks at the time were just upset that poor whites would rather blame poor blacks than the landlords. Wasn’t all of them, but enough to make Ned reconsider them as members
Thank you for saving working class history.
Incredible story! Thank you for sharing.
No one is Free till we are all Free! ❤

I know the history of the left here in The UK. I'm glad I found your channel, to learn the stuff I wasn't taught at school and university.
Things I never learned but should have..great work
What a terrible waste of a community. Wal-Mart has a lot to answer for, the worker's struggle continues.
Challenge the system isnt for anyone
