Today in Labor History March 10, 1896: Nancy Clara Cunard was born in London into the Cunard shipping dynasty. She was a surrealist writer, model, anarchist and an anti-fascist and anti-racist activist. Her family disinherited her because of her relationship with Henry Crowder, a Black jazz pianist from the U.S. She helped refugees from the Spanish civil war, wrote extensively about fascist Italy's invasion of Ethiopia, and worked as a translator for the French resistance during World War II. She was also active in the anti-racist movement in the U.S.
