DESCRIPTION:10th Anniversary of Charleston Five Struggle\nWith ILA 1422 
 Leader\nScreening of Free The Charleston Five\nIn 2000, ILA 1422 in 
 Charleston, South Carolina was faced with a major attack. This Black 
 majority local was a target by the state government in part because of 
 their activism including seeking to remove the Confederate flag from the 
 State Capitol.  The Nordana shipping line sought to go non-union and the 
 state attorney general organized to bust up the local to stop picketing by 
 mobilizing over 600 police, horses, armored vehicles and helicopters. The 
 police arrested and charged five members who came to be known as the 
 Charleston Five. The struggle was won with international solidarity action 
 and organized support around the country. This event will commemorate the 
 important lessons for today and will also include a ILWU Local 30 miner 
 from the Rio Tinto mine in Boron, California. The miners were locked out by 
 global Rio Tinto for several months.\nSponsored by ILWU Local 10\nSee
