On this episode of the Rick Smith Show, Rick talks with historian Peter Cole, Ph.D., Professor at Western Illinois University and Co-director of the Chicago Race Riot of 1919 Commemoration Project, about Donald Trump’s deployment of troops in Washington, D.C., and threats to send them to Chicago and Baltimore. Cole lays out the troubling historical parallel of National Guard units breaking strikes and suppressing workers’ rights. Later, AFGE District 3 Vice President Phil Glove joins the conversation to explore what federal workers must do in the Trump era to defend their rights, workplaces, and futures.
