I've recently discovered that university life is very, very different from school life. So when I'm not working, I'm playing, which, evidently, leaves no time for wikiwriting. However I do reserve the right to use this profile in the future, and I shall return, in time, but my emphasis will probably shift to commercial law related topics, as that is my chosen field.
Best of luck to all of you!
- Well actually, I've been doing the whole university thing for ages now, striving for more partying and less work...
Ford Strikers Riot is a 1941 photograph that shows an American strikebreaker getting beaten by United Auto Workers (UAW) strikers who were picketing at the Ford Motor Company's Rouge Plant in Dearborn, Michigan. Milton Brooks, a photographer for The Detroit News, captured the image on April 3, 1941, and it won the inaugural Pulitzer Prize for Photography in 1942. The photograph has been called a portrayal of the struggle in America between capital and labor. During the incident, a peaceful picketing of the Ford Motor Company was interrupted when a single man clashed with the UAW strikers. The man ignored the advice of the Michigan State Police and crossed the picket lines. Brooks, who was waiting with other photojournalists outside the Ford factory gates, took only one photograph and said: "I took the picture quickly, hid the camera ... ducked into the crowd ... a lot of people would have liked to wreck that picture."Photograph credit: Milton Brooks; restored by Yann Forget
