Labor Day
noun

A public holiday or day of festivities held in honor of working people, in the U.S. and Canada on the first Monday in September, in many other countries on May 1.

One of this world's finest....



Emma Goldman

A long and beautiful labor, for the right of the laborers
Gave her the title, "The Most Dangerous Woman in America"
Got her deported, as an American citizen
Her words, more prevelant today than ever

Noun, an action word....


If voting changed anything, they'd make it illegal.
Emma Goldman

Morality and its victim, the mother - what a terrible picture! Is there indeed anything more terrible, more criminal, than our glorified sacred function of motherhood?
Emma Goldman

No real social change has ever been brought about without a revolution... revolution is but thought carried into action.
Emma Goldman

Politics is the reflex of the business and industrial world.
Emma Goldman

The history of progress is written in the blood of men and women who have dared to espouse an unpopular cause, as, for instance, the black man's right to his body, or woman's right to her soul.
Emma Goldman

The most unpardonable sin in society is independence of thought.
Emma Goldman


The State is the altar of political freedom and, like the religious altar, it is maintained for the purpose of human sacrifice.
Emma Goldman

Since every effort in our educational life seems to be directed toward making of the child a being foreign to itself, it must of necessity produce individuals foreign to one another, and in everlasting antagonism with each other.
Emma Goldman

A beautiful tribute and wonderful reminder. The independence of our thoughts are unpardonable to those with none of their original own, no doubt. Meanwhile, the real mavericks don't seek their pardon, but justice & their own platform.

Right On Emma! My favorite is the last quote. Thanks Susan, for sharing Emma. I will investigate further as she sounds like a person I need to know.
