A crowd of 5,000 people protested in support of a labor union, International Longshoremen's Association Local 1422, in front of the state Capitol in Columbia, Maryland. They were protesting because the state is gunning for this union of black dockworkers from Charleston who weren't polite about the flag and weren't docile when a shipping company whose vessels they'd worked for twenty-three years decided to use scab labor. The trouble started after a ship from the Danish Nordana Shipping Lines pulled into the Port of Charleston. Nineteen scabs were mustered to unload it. On three of Nordana's prior visits the union had picketed without police interference.
