—Flora Tristan (1803–1844)
“Your organization is not a praying institution. It’s a fighting institution. It’s an educational institution right along industrial lines. Pray for the dead and fight like hell for the living!”
—Mother Jones (1830–1930)
“It is essential that there should be organization of labor. This is an era of organization. Capital organizes and therefore labor must organize.”
