Kim Kelly speaking at the space named after Henry Clay Frick is the most glorious justice for Alexander Berkman since BerkmanFest 2010, which featured everyone's favorite Working Class Accordionist besmirching both Frick AND Carnegie's names!

Please take a moment to savor the ultra pleasing moment where the Henry Clay Frick Robber Baron philanthropy museum unionizes.

Super delicious

We're hardly the first anarchists to want to take on Henry Clay Frick.
If you do any amount of historic research you will get a dead arch nemesis.

I have several but the horrifying state of media right now has me wanting to invent a time machine just to get into a barfight with Edward Bernays.

You can't read a single discussion of the renovations of the Frick Museum that notes that Henry Clay Frick was an absolute worker murdering scumbag of the first order, even compared to other horrible Gilded Age capitalists.

The art world might now be willing to talk about race. But class? Fuck no.

Most of Carnegie's work was only done after a business partner, Henry Clay Frick, who was violently opposed to unions, was shot by an anarchist. Unions were the compromise the wealthy made to stop escalating violence, and the entitlement of modern gilded age types forgets that.
lol what the wealthy today don't seem to understand is part of staying wealthy in society is not pissing off the masses.

There's a reason why Carnegie and the Rockefellers poured money into institutions. Gutting institutions and making it harder for the masses to survive is a...choice.

Almost done with this one. I hope to finish it today so I can start either Team of Rivals or Empire of Deception.

This has been an interesting read honestly. It’s about Carnegie, Frick, and the Homestead Strike.

And given that Henry Clay Frick is personally responsible for the Johnstown Flood, which killed a mere 2,200 people, you'd think that would be mentioned in discussions of him.

Comrades, behold Middle Earth's Henry Clay Frick

In 1881, Carnegie hired Henry Clay Frick to run his company’s operations. Frick complained that the AA was hindering production and resolved to break the union. With the union’s contract set to expire on June 30, 1892, Frick refused to negotiate in good faith in an effort to divide the workers. /3

Sure but let’s not forget Fuck You Henry Clay Frick, too.

The Frick in NYC should automatically be unionized too

This Day in Labor History: May 31, 1889. The South Fork dam above the city of Johnstown, Pennsylvania, collapsed during a heavy rainstorm. Over 2200 people died!!! Let's talk about workers killed by steel capitalists responsible for the collapsed dam, led by the vile Henry Clay Frick!
