Today in Labor History May 19, 1989: Trinidadian Marxist historian and journalist C.L.R. James died. James was the author of The Black Jacobins (1938), Breaking a Boundary (1963), numerous articles and essays on class and race antagonism, West Indian self-determination, cricket, Marxism, & aesthetics. In 1933, he published the pamphlet The Case for West-Indian Self Government. He was a champion of Pan-Africanism and a member of the Friends of Ethiopia, an organization opposed to fascism and the Italian conquest of Ethiopia. He also wrote a play about the Haitian Revolution, Toussaint L’Ouverture, the Story of the Only Successful Slave Revolt in History. Paul Robeson starred in the 1936 British production.

Submitted to a photo theme: #contrasts - A random, spontaneous i-Ching pull.

I came up with this bit of contrasts IMM: wet vs. dry, still vs moving. Light.

I got very wet this day, with its own contrasts, floods on one side of a street or park, and torrential rain on the other.

Some of my favorite images of this lovely UNESCO World Heritage Site: Trinidad, Cuba are in my Flickr album @ flic.kr/s/aHsmccYsqV

⚫ Vor der Ostküste von #Trinidad🇹🇹 wurde am Samstag eine treibende Piroge gesichtet, auf der die Küstenwache dann 5 Leichen fand.

Beim Versuch, das Boot an die Küste zu schleppen, löste sich in der Nacht zum Sonntag bei rauer See die Verbindung. Die Piroge konnte seitdem nicht mehr gefunden werden und ist vermutlich gesunken.

Vom Typ des Bootes her, ist es sehr wahrscheinlich, dass es von der westafrikanischen Küste mit Ziel #Canarias🇮🇨 abgelegt hatte.

“A common story that I’ve been told by locals is that the #recipe is held by only five individuals at any time – one of whom is always the English #monarch – and that all five must agree to when #Bitters are made, thereby limiting over-production. Another story is that each of the five only have a portion of the recipe and that they must come together in order to produce Bitters, and that ingredients for #AngosturaBitters arrive in #Trinidad in unmarked containers, loaded onto unmarked trucks bound for the plant.” — Ramin Ganeshram
