From @joannechocolat
Lucy Eldine Gonzalez Parsons (c. 1853 – March 7, 1942) was an American labour organizer, feminist and radical socialist. She is remembered as a powerful orator.
Personal note: Her early days are difficult to pin down. It is believed she was born into slavery, although she said she was born to Mexican & Native American parents.
She led the first May Day parade in #Chicago in 1886, and also unionized the city’s only female workers organization at the time, Working Women’s #Union No. 1 (WWU).
She was feared & revered for her ability to organise, and in the words of the Chicago police she was “more dangerous than a thousand rioters.”
For readers, you might be interested in a biography titled 'Goddess of Anarchy : The Life and Times of Lucy Parsons, American Radical' by #Jacqueline_Jones

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest publications Offers Project Do Better @[email protected] ·Passing To Freedom, Chapter 39: The City
Chapter 39
“She went that way…”
I need a better hiding place.
I had eaten sparingly these past days. All three of us had, despite the lady of the house urging us to eat. We knew not how the fortunes of the journey ahead might treat us, and whether food would be easily had, after this resting place. I knew not even the name of this town. It was as if the townsmen were afraid to speak, lest a similar fate befall them.
I began to hear shouts in the direction that Anna had retreated.
I ducked lower.
Shrewsbury. The name of that town would forever be linked with blood. A town of double loss. We kept to the woods. Nowhere would we be safe, we had been told, until we got to the city of Philadelphia.
That great city, they told me, had once served as the capital of this nation, before the Federal City was built. Now, it seemed that this city, like Boston, was committed to the cause of the Abolition of the condition of servitude. In all of these United States.
We were told that here was a place where we would be sheltered, protected, and given aid and guidance to further our journey North up to Canada. I had tried to trust in what I was being told.
But, as it turned out, it was not true.
