This Day in Labor History: November 25, 1865. Mississippi created the first of the Black Codes. Designed to recreate slavery in all but name, this signified the South’s resistance to the freeing of their labor force and the lengths to which it would go to tie workers to a place under white control.

Today, I testified at the State House to support a bill to close loopholes in our civil rights laws & combat hate in Massachusetts.
Hate incidents have been on the rise - we must ensure we have every tool available to make our state a place where EVERYONE feels safe and welcome.

The EPA is sitting on critical funds for lead pipe replacement—leaving communities in Massachusetts at risk. I’m leading the Massachusetts delegation in demanding the immediate release of these funds. No child should drink dirty water.

I think graphic novels are such a good way to tell history, especially from an individual’s perspective. I wish he was still around for all the reasons, including that he could finish telling his story this way. 💡📚💙
