On this day, 2 August 1924, James Baldwin, renowned gay Black author and social critic was born in Harlem, New York City. Frustrated with endemic racism in the United States, he moved to France where he spent most of his life. However, he did return to the US during the civil rights movement and played an active role in fighting racism, despite the official movement's homophobia, encouraging civil disobedience and taking part in the March on Washington in 1963 and the Selma march in 1965. Baldwin believed racism to be a central tool of US capitalism, telling journalist Joe Walker: "Racism is crucial to the system to keep Black and whites at a division so both were and are a source of cheap labour… The price of any real socialism here [in the US] is the eradication of what we call the race problem." In 1968 Baldwin also pledged to refuse to pay tax in protest against the Vietnam war. For these "subversive" activities, Baldwin was subjected to illegal surveillance by the Federal Bureau of Investigation, who collated 1,884 pages of documents on him. This collection of writings by Angela Davis begins with the letter sent to her by Baldwin: https://shop.workingclasshistory.com/products/if-they-come-in-the-morning-angela-davis

On this day, 30 July 1971, 38 women members of the left-wing Tupamaros guerrilla group escaped from the Cabildo women's prison in Uruguay using a tunnel which had been dug into the prison from the sewers. To prepare for the escape, dubbed Operation Star, the women used items they had like thread to measure precise dimensions of prison rooms. They exchanged information and plans written on cigarette paper. Then, comrades on the outside spent five months digging two tunnels 18 m long, 1.2 m high and 80 cm wide. The first went from a rented house to the sewer; the second from the sewer to the prison. The final breakthrough into the prison took place using a hydraulic jack at 8:30 PM on July 30, while the women held a birthday party to cover the noise. They waited until lights out at 10 PM, then made their escape. Only four of the 42 prisoners decided to stay, because they were either pregnant or about to reach the end of their sentences.
