An Injury to One is an Injury to All
In memory of Howard Sperry and Nick Bordoise who were killed on Bloody Thursday in 1934. The two were shot when longshoremen and seamen tried to prevent maritime employers from breaking their strike. A general union strike in San Francisco followed the killings.
