Multiple Arrests As NY Protesters Rally
Over Deadly Chicago, Minneapolis Police Shootings
Millions March NYC and NYC Shut It Down – both of which are part of the
Black Lives Matter movement held a rally in Washington Square Park
decrying police violence against African-Americans. Protesters rallied
and marched over recent deadly police shootings in Chicago of Laquan
McDonald in October 2014, and Minneapolis. Protesters were also
marching in solidarity with five activists who were shot while protesting the
Minneapolis incident. The five activists were shot by white supremacists
who targeted those demonstrating near the 4th Precinct police station in
Minneapolis, in the aftermath of the death of Jamar Clark – who was shot
in the head and killed, while handcuffed by a local police officer. At one
point, a group went into Macy’s at Herald Square, and at another point,
a group tried blocking the Lincoln Tunnel.

Walmart Engages FBI Joint Terrorism Task Force and Lockheed
Martin To Surveil Workers Calling for $15 an Hour and Full-Time Work
with
Cyndi Murray, Secretary-Treasurer Our Walmart - a 16-year Walmart
employee from Laurel, MD.
Dan Schladerman, Co-Director, Our Walmart
OUR Walmart has uncovered testimony revealing Walmart’s surveillance of
their workers fighting for $15 an hour and full-time work in the wake of Black
Friday strikes in 2012 and the “Ride for Respect” in 2013. In addition to
closely monitoring the lawful labor rights activism of its associates on social
media sites like Facebook and Twitter, as the company faced a wave of
bad publicity and negative same store sales, Walmart enlisted military
industrial giant Lockheed Martin to spy on its workers and the FBI Joint
Terrorism Task Force to gather intelligence on protests. “We are fighting for
all workers to be paid a fair wage and enough hours to put food on the table
and provide for our families," said Mary Pat Tifft, a Walmart worker of 27
years in Wisconsin. "To think that Walmart found us such a threat that they
had to hire a defense contractor and engage the FBI is a mind-blowing
abuse of power.

Confronting Black Jacobins: The U.S., The Haitian Revolution,
And The Origins Of The Dominican Republic
with
Dr. Gerald Horne, Professor of African American History at the University
of Houston. He is the author of more than two dozen books, including
Race to Revolution, The Counter-Revolution of 1776, Negro Comrades
of the Crown and most recently Confronting Black Jacobins.
Gerald Horne discusses Black revolt by documenting the impact of the Haitian
Revolution on Europe and most notably on the United States. And, by tracking
the deadly scourge of white supremacy, and its confrontation by a rebellious
Black republic, Horne helps us to see the powerful blow for justice struck by a
militantly resistant population of Black citizens who more nobly embodied the
ideals of freedom and equality than the European and North American powers
that sought to defeat them. Dr. Horne relates the experience of the Haitian
Revolution to inform the struggle against white supremacy in the US today.
