A figurine of a hartebeest, made of flint, found in a cemetery at Hierakonpolis. It dates to the Naqada II period, 3650–3450 BC.
The Naqada culture was a Chalcolithic Predynastic Egyptian culture. Hierakonpolis is a major site for studying this period.

I really, really wish I didn't have to jump over so many damned hurdles to put on rad and weird events here in Flint.

I just wanna do a cheap-as-free film festival but have to jump through a dozen hoops and dance a jig because I am a "for profit" as a one-person enterprise that pays for everything out of my own pocket.

In the 13 years I have been doing this stuff I have yet to "make a profit" but OK.

Today in Labor History March 6, 1930: 100,000 people demonstrated for jobs in New York City. Demonstrations by unemployed workers, demanding unemployment insurance, occurred in virtually every major U.S. city. In New York, police attacked a crowd of 35,000. In Cleveland, 10,000 people battled police. In Detroit, the Communist Party organized an underemployment demonstration. Over 50,000 people showed up. Thousands took to the streets in Toledo, Flint and Pontiac. These demonstrations led to the creation of the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), sponsored by Republican congressman Hamilton Fish, with the support of the American Federation of Labor, to investigate and quash radical activities.

Today in Labor History February 11, 1937: General Motors recognized the United Auto Workers (UAW) following a 44-day sit-down strike in Flint, Michigan, involving 48,000 GM workers. Two months later, company guards beat up UAW leaders at the River Rouge, Michigan plant. On January 11, police armed with guns and tear gas tried to storm the plant. Strikers repeatedly repelled them by throwing hinges, bottles and bolts at them. Fourteen strikers were injured by police gunfire during the strike.

It's crazy that after 11 years the people of Flint will finally get to see some of the settlement from the lawsuits that were filed.

Too much of the money went to lawyers, but at least the kids and the rest of us will get something. All of it is too crazy for words, and old news for the rest of the world but for folks who lived it, those years are never too far away.
