Today in Labor History December 15, 1941: Nazi troops murdered over 15,000 Jews at Drobytsky Yar, a ravine in Kharkiv, Ukraine. The temperature was −15 °C (5 °F). They threw children into pits alive, to save bullets, assuming that they would quickly freeze to death. #workingclass #LaborHistory #holocaust #nazis #fascism #jews #antisemitism #ukraine #soviet #concentrationcamp #massacre #slaughter

Today in Labor History December 15, 1914: A gas explosion at Mitsubishi Hōjō coal mine, in Kyushu, Japan, killed 687. It was the worst mining disaster in Japanese history and one of the worst in the history of the world. The explosion was caused by a spark igniting methane and coal dust. The blast was so powerful, it sent the cage (shaft elevator) shooting out of the shaft. In Japan, miners’ wives worked with them in the mines. Consequently, 20% of those who died were women. #workingclass #LaborHistory #mining #workplacedisaster #Mitsubishi #japan #women

Today in Labor History December 15, 1890: The U.S. military arrested Lakota leader Sitting Bull for failing to stop his people from practicing the Ghost Dance. During his arrest, one of his men, Catch the Bear, fired at Lieutenant "Bull Head," who turned and shot Sitting Bull. Both men died. The people living in Sitting Bull's camp fled to the Pine Ridge Reservation. On December 29, 1890, the 7th Cavalry caught them at Wounded Knee and slaughtered nearly 300 men, women and children. #workingclass #LaborHistory #woundedknee #lakota #indigenous #genocide #ghostdance #massacre #sittingbull #nativeamerican

Today in Labor History December 15, 1792: The U.S. Bill of Rights was adopted promising freedom of speech, religion, the press, and "the right of the people peaceably to assemble and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." 190 years later, the Clash rewrote these rights into plain English: #workingclass #LaborHistory #billofrights #constitution #freespeech #freepress #protest #punkrock #clash

Today in Labor History December 15, 1973: The American Psychiatric Association voted to remove homosexuality from its official list of psychiatric disorders, the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. In the 1950s and 1960s, some therapists used aversion therapy to "cure" homosexuality. Like in Anthony Burgess’s, “A Clockwork Orange,” they would show patients pictures of naked men while giving them electric shocks or drugs to make them puke. In the 1973 vote, 5,854 members voted to remove homosexuality from the DSM, while 3,810 voted to retain it. In a compromise, they agreed to remove homosexuality from the DSM, but replaced it with "sexual orientation disturbance" for people "in conflict with" their sexual orientation. They did not completely remove homosexuality from the DSM until 1987. And despite the overtly torturous nature of the therapy, as of today, only 8 U.S. states have banned it. And only a handful of nations have banned it (including Canada, Brazil, Ecuador, Spain, France, Germany, and Greece.) #workingclass #LaborHistory #lgbtq #homophobia #transphobia #conversiontherapy #dsm #therapy #mentalhealth #torture #psychiatry #clockworkorange #books #authors #writers #fiction [@bookstadon](
