Decatur's Archer-Daniels-Midland, best known in recent years for its felonious busniess practices, should be even better known for profiting from slavery by its dominance in the trade in cocoa. Often produced on plantations whose labor force consists of enslaved youths, this is especially so in the case of ADM's large stake in trade with the Ivory Coast cocoa plantations. |

On the corner of Broad and Walnut in Center City, Philadelphia, August 10, 2002, more than 25 MOVE members and supporters (including several visiting from Spain) gathered for a demonstration to commemorate August 8, 1978. On this day, 24 years ago, more than 500 heavily armed police officers attacked MOVE headquarters in the Powelton Village neighborhood of West Philadelphia.

Formerly at least a semi-regular on the News-Gazette's opinion pages as one of the token liberals who they run from time to time amidst the steady sucking sound of the sewer of right-wing droning that takes up the majority of their opinion space, Molly Ivins eventually proved too spicy (and truthful) to keep around in the local fishwrap even on an occassional basis. It looks like she'll not be invited back anytime soon, but presented as a public service to thinking citizens...Molly Ivins.
Gosh, this doesn't sound like anything heard at Bush's economic dog and pony show at Baylor U this week. |

The UBC says it hopes to build its union by organizing more. |
