Portrait of Addie Wyatt used by the U.S. Department of Labor on its website honoring its Hall of Honor inductees.

Wyatt died on March 28, 2012, at age 88. President Obama and first lady Michelle Obama recognized Wyatt as a “champion of equality and a fierce advocate for working Americans” in a letter read at her funeral. Wyatt was inducted into the U.S. Department of Labor Hall of Honor on May 9, 2012. /end

Wyatt retired from the UFCW in 1984 and from the ministry in 2000. She later served as a mentor to a young community organizer named Barack Obama. She helped him gain access to community and political leaders, reportedly treating him with the affection of a son as she provided valuable advice. /8

Addie Wyatt, of the United Packinghouse Worker’s Association, is shown seated at a desk speaking during the talks regarding a merger between the UPWA and Amalgamated Meat Cutters.

In 1976, Wyatt became the first female International vice president of Amalgamated Meat Cutters. She then became the first African American woman to serve as international vice president of the United Food and Commercial Workers union when the two unions merged in 1979. /7

Addie Wyatt appeared on the cover of Time Magazine in 1975 as one of the “Women of the Year.” Her photo is in the lower left of the montage.

In 1972, Wyatt co-founded the Coalition of Black Trade Unionists and, in 1974, she co-founded the Coalition of Labor Union Women. In 1975, she was named one of Time Magazine’s Women of the Year, appearing on the cover for her work against sexual and racial discrimination. /6

Wyatt became an ordained Church of God minister in 1955, and she and her husband, Rev. Claude S. Wyatt Jr., founded the Vernon Park Church of God in Chicago that same year. Eleanor Roosevelt appointed Wyatt to the U.S. Commission on the Status of Women in the 1960s. /5

Addie Wyatt (seated, left) and other members of a delegation of UPWA-CIO staff and officers who traveled to Washington, D.C., to lobby for the enforcement of Executive Order 10557, which prevented the government from contracting with businesses with discriminatory practices.

Wyatt was elected vice president of Local 56 in 1953 and became director of Women’s Affairs and Human Rights for Amalgamated Meat Cutters. In 1956, she began working with MLK, supporting the Montgomery Bus Boycott and participating in the March on Washington and the Selma to Montgomery march. /4

Wyatt joined the United Packinghouse Workers of America and soon emerged as a leader among Black women in the labor movement. She advocated for the rights of women, people of color and workers, using her position as a UPWA staff member to promote the intersection of those struggles. /3

Wyatt’s family moved to Chicago in 1930 during the Great Migration. In 1941, Wyatt applied for a job as a typist for Armour and Company, but was told that African American women were not hired for front office jobs. She was put in the canning department to pack stew for the U.S. Army. /2

Here's a simple question:

Would you do the bidding of the man and country that killed your father?

Deceased leader Ayatollah Khamenei’s son, Mojtaba, has replaced his father as Iran’s Supreme Leader.

I'm sure he harbors no ill will towards the U.S., right?

Image showing Jeffrey Epstein and Donald Trump over a smoky city skyline. Text reads: “You can take the Ayatollah out of Iran, but you can’t take Trump out of the Epstein Files.”

Some receipts don’t disappear.
Neither do the Epstein files.

Trump bombed a girls’ school in Iran and did not acknowledge the error. It’s almost like he’s done this before?

Your daily moment of zen. 🥹😭🥰

I have to begin my day with, you know, humanity, before jumping on SM to face the daily awfulness of the regime.

Whether it’s giggling with your kiddos, taking a walk, playing with your animals, or watching feel good videos, take care.

U.S. turns to Ukraine for drone defense expertise in Iran war, but solutions may take time Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy says his country will work with the Pentagon and Gulf allies to share what it has learned during four years of drone warfare.

Days before Trump launched a war against Iran Patel fired FBI Iranian counter intelligence experts.
Days after the war started Trump asks Ukraine for drone defense.
The incompetence and lack of leadership shows the US’s weaknesses.

1/ Organized thoughtlessness is a political strategy that gains power not by persuading through strong arguments,but by conditioning ppl to avoid deeper thinking. It replaces curiosity with habit & encourages quick reactions instead of careful reflection #DV1 #ProudBlue #Voices4Victory #USDemocracy
