History articles we need on libcom

1937: Yale Towne manufacturing company sit down strike: couple of photos here, not much info online https://books.google.co.uk/books?id=LxASFrmc3P8C&pg=PA63&dq=location+of+Woolworth%27s+Detroit+1937&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwj346bC5szJAhWGqA4KHRgyAwoQ6AEIIjAA#v=onepage&q=location%20of%20Woolworth's%20Detroit%201937&f=false

On Provo: http://madgorilla.org/kempton/provos.pdf

thanks! If you or anyone else could post that to our history section it would be much appreciated

We need something about the peasants revolt (1381, UK)

Juan Conatz

1935 Terre Haute, Indiana general strike (lots of footnotes unfortunately)
https://scholarworks.iu.edu/journals/index.php/imh/article/view/10560/14831

articles with lots of footnotes/hyperlinks etc you can still do really easily, just right click and click "view page source" (or something similar, depending on browser), then copy the HTML, paste it in the body and set the input format to be HTML no line breaks.

Please check I've done everything right - first time adding to the Libcom library. Thanks!

that's amazing thank you very much! Please feel free to post any other stuff which you feel would be of interest to our readers in future (basically we want everything of relevance to anarchism/class struggle, ever)

anyway back to other topics. Would be good to have something about He Zhen, Chinese anarchist, as well as any other Asian anarchists/radicals, especially women

http://zinnedproject.org/2014/06/jacobo-arbenz-guzman-deposed/

1938 London rent strike: http://www.socialistparty.org.uk/articles/18387

Would be great to get a biography of this Spanish anarchist feminist, possibly just this translated into English: http://autogestionacrata.blogspot.co.uk/2012/10/lucia-sanchez-saornil.html

Would be really good to get an article about Lesbians and Gays Support the Miners, and a history of Women against Pit Closures

Would be great to have this article on the 1935 Dublin tram strike, just don't have time to copy it over right now: https://medium.com/@stewreddin/the-1935-dublin-tram-and-bus-strike-6f79ba35c62f#.t8x1r6hc5

Cheers!

[s] 1972 UK miners/wildcat general strike
1974 UK miners strike [/s]
Drumheller Coal Mining Strike of 1919 of the One Big Union

Some of these mutinies are already in the history section as individual articles, but would be great to have all of them, edited from the main text and turned into standalone short articles: https://libcom.org/library/mutinies-dave-lamb-solidarity

Really want to have an article at some point on the 1977 massacre in Angola of about 25,000 people by the MPLA. There are a few good articles online but none quite in the right format for a history article, so would be good to put one together from the sources or find one good enough to go up in its entirety. Here are a few links:

Would be good to get this great stuff on the IWW domestic workers' union in the history section: http://www.weneverforget.org/hellraisers-journal-how-a-cold-storage-egg-inspired-organization-of-domestic-workers-iu-part-ii/#more-775

as well as this account of starting a grassroots union: http://ideasandaction.info/2017/01/grassroots-union-working-class-insurgency-early-70s/

Also if anyone could piece together an article about the Denver IWW domestic workers' union from the few passages in here that would be fantastic. Just do a search for "Jane Street" to get the relevant section: https://books.google.co.uk/books?redir_esc=y&id=sIJ6FHla0doC&q=Jane+Street#v=snippet&q=Jane%20Street&f=false

This bit should be in history as well:
http://www.weneverforget.org/hellraisers-journal-denver-housemaids-union-led-by-jane-street-keeping-a-list-of-unfair-mistresses/

TBH that book could also be used to put together quite a few other articles from as well about working class women's struggles

It would also be great to get the bottom section of this chapter, on the murders of painters' union activists Wilson and Green in the US up in the history section: https://www.uniondemocracy.org/Legal/rebelschapt5.htm

[s] A load of this stuff about the 1912 San Diego free speech fight would be great: http://www.aftguild.org/free_speech/index.html [/s]

Would be great to have a few of the instances of anti-Nazi resistance from this site up in the history section: http://www.holocaustresearchproject.org/revolt/belzecresistance.html

I really want a history of Women against Pit Closures

[s] We really need an article on the Tolpuddle martyrs. There a good, shortish one anywhere? [/s]

This article on class struggle during World War II: https://selfnegation.wordpress.com/2011/06/13/hello-world/

Loads of this stuff about strikes during World War II: https://libcom.org/forums/history/strikes-during-ww2-19112012

An English translation of this article in French would be amazing, about a general strike in Vichy Marseilles, 1944: http://archivesautonomies.org/spip.php?article2096

1947 strike wave in France: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1947_strikes_in_France

Would be really great to get these articles and texts on the South London women's hospital occupation up on the site so if anyone could help please do!
South London women's Hospital: https://rosannerabinowitz.wordpress.com/2015/05/04/history-is-not-just-about-the-past/

photos: http://bookerphotos.com/here-to-stay/zhs6o00ue1p0dt8lps85p5mdfl8t1r

would love to get all of the decent articles from this blog up on the site, about hospital occupations and campaigns in the UK in the late 70s/early 80s: http://cohse-union.blogspot.co.uk/
Particularly: http://cohse-union.blogspot.co.uk/2015/10/neasden-hospital-occupation-1986.html

This article on Louise Michel in London is amazing, would be great to have it (if nothing else at least in PDF format for quickness): http://transpont.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/louise-michel-paris-communard-in-south.html

Cape Breton miners slow down 1941: https://journals.lib.unb.ca/index.php/Acadiensis/article/view/12259/13103
Sacco and Vanzetti solidarity strikes in Canada: http://www.lltjournal.ca/index.php/llt/article/view/5738/6600

A short article summarising this would be great: the Black Dragons - French antifascist black punks in the 1980s
http://www.okayafrica.com/featured/black-punk-black-dragons-france/

Yeah I haven't either. I guess you could try to do a call out on the WCH Facebook/Twitter to see if anyone knew her, if you cobble together a couple of anecdotes you could probably get a short bio. Or are there any public figures who were involved in the Brixton Panthers? Like Darcus Howe maybe?

It would be great if this article could be put up in the library, at least in PDF format for ease. About a 17-year-old boy executed for desertion in World War I: https://runner500.wordpress.com/2015/01/08/too-young-to-go-to-war-but-old-enough-to-be-executed/

no1

i was looking for some info when there was a post about her on the Working Class Hisory fb page, Didn't find a lot, one with most info was a BBC page (link). (I wanted to know why she died so young - she died of leukaemia).
Plus I thought there was some (not enough) useful info on this site, including some references https://rememberolivemorris.wordpress.com/
The Wikipedia page also links to Oxford Dictionary page and Red Pepper articles.

what would you think of cobbling together a very short bio including what information is out there, and putting it up in the history section? Even something very short would be better than nothing. At the bottom of it we could also appeal for people with more info to get in touch, to flesh it out. What do you think?

Would be good to have an English translation of this Spanish article on the IWW in Chile: https://noticiasyanarquia.blogspot.co.uk/2015/10/la-iww-en-chile-un-sindicato-y-una.html

Some useful Sussex antifascist history here which would be good in the history section: http://sussexhistoryforum.co.uk/index.php?PHPSESSID=3npd2b1145tbnrmb4poor8q0p0&topic=1106.15

Yes I saw thanks very much!
