Today… I know, ridiculous late. The 12yo was already up, and good God he’s got a lot to tell me at 6am. was the birthday of Myrtle Lawrence (1891-1980), a longtime sharecropper who became a leading labor organizer as part of the Southern Tenant Farmers’ Union. (The STFU, heh.) I like this – the union was happy enough with her results, “but considered her ‘not respectable’ due to her ‘spitting publicly and acting exuberantly.’”
