It is that awful anniversary again. 32 years ago today, twenty-five people died behind locked doors making cheap chicken tenders in HAMLET, NC. This was NO ACCIDENT. They died b/c of calculated neglect. Never again.

One of the most prestigious awards given to arts and humanities scholars, Guggenheim fellowships allow recipients time to work on specific projects. UGA’s winners have devoted their time to studying topics like Native American removal in the 19th century, the history of labor migration and its connections to human trafficking, and the critical importance of grain production in world geopolitics.

Tomorrow is the 31st Anniversary of the HAMLET FIRE, where 25 people died behind locked doors and official neglect. Thoughts and prayers, but action too. Just this week, @indyweek reported NC remains the worst place to work in the US. @SouthernLaborSA indyweek.com/news/northcarol…

North Carolina: Still the Worst Place to Work in America

For the second year in a row, North Carolina came 52nd in a ranking of best and worst states to work in the nation.
