Fourteen unemployed people occupied a plot in London and started growing the land

118
years ago

13 July 1906,

Fourteen unemployed people occupied a plot in London and started growing it. They called him Triangle Camp, set the red flag and a tent. To confront the belief that those who had no work were useless, they organized an eight-hour day and banned alcoholic beverages. They had the support of thousands of people until they were evicted by the police.
