MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in History, March 14, 1879, Albert Einstein was born. In addition to being one of the most significant physicists of all time, he was also a pacifist. Yet his letter to President Roosevelt warning of the Nazi progress on atomic weapons research was arguably key to the U.S. implementation of the Manhatton Project, a decision he later lamented. In 1955, well after the Cold War and nuclear arms race had begun, he and ten other intellectuals and scientists, including other Nobel Prize laureates, like Bertrand Russell and Linus Pauling, wrote a manifesto warning of the dangers of nuclear weapons. Einstein also participated in the U.S. Civil Rights movement, calling racism America’s “worst disease.” Later in his life he began to support socialism, and he criticized the Bolsheviks for their barbarism. Einstein was also a Zionist, and supported Jews’ right to return to Palestine. However, he did not support a Jewish state, or an Arab state, to replace Mandatory Palestine. Rather, he wanted a free, bi-national Palestine in which Jews and Arabs shared sovereignty, living peacefully and equally with each other.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/einstein" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>einstein</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/nazis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nazis</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/pacifism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pacifism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/antisemitism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>antisemitism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/zionism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>zionism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/palestine" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>palestine</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/israel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>israel</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/physics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>physics</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/atomicbomb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>atomicbomb</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/nuclear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nuclear</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/socialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>socialism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/civilrights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>civilrights</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/racism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>racism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/nobelprize" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nobelprize</span></a></p>

MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History February 21, 1958: The CND symbol (aka peace symbol) was designed and completed by Gerald Holtom. The Direct Action Committee (DAC) commissioned the project in protest against the Atomic Weapons Research Establishment. The DAC was a British pacifist organization that did non-violent direct action whose goal was the total renunciation of nuclear war and nuclear weapons. It existed from 1957 to 1961. They organized meetings, marches, vigils, pickets and acts of civil disobedience.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/peace" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>peace</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PeaceSymbol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>PeaceSymbol</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/civildisobedience" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>civildisobedience</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/antinuke" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>antinuke</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/nuclearwar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nuclearwar</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/pacifism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>pacifism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/atomic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>atomic</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/directaction" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>directaction</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/atomic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>atomic</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/nuclear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nuclear</span></a></p>
