<blockquote style="BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; PADDING-LEFT: 1ex" class="gmail_quote">Great article Carl !<br><br>Interesting enough, Bogalusa La., was the center of violent gun battles and massacres between 1905 and 1925 during attempts to organize the mixed race, but predominately African American, Timber and Mill workers into Unions. The first attempt was by the IWW and then later the Carpenter's Union ( UBC ). On Nov. 22nd 1919, five Carpenter's Union Organizers were murdered in Bogalusa by 20 members of a local vigilante group which was funded by the Great Southern Lumber Company and composed of local businessmen, supervisors for the Great Southern Lumber Company, and local law enforcement, all of whom belonged to the Klan.<br>
Although there were several witnesses, none of the vigilantes were convicted of course.<br>A monument was proposed by the AFL-CIO ten years ago commemerating this " Bogalusa Massacre ". I am not certain if it was ever built.<br>

Robert Hicks seems to me to provide a noble example:<br>
