Speaker 1: What's good people with questlove and as you know. In
Speaker 1: honor of Women's History Month, each Friday, we'll be releasing
Speaker 1: an episode from my new podcast with the story Pirates
Speaker 1: Historical Records. It's an explosive fusion of hip hop and history,
Speaker 1: tailor made for music loving kids and families. In today's episode,
Speaker 1: Nemine travels to Texas to witness Emma Teneyuka fight for workers' rights,
Speaker 1: and Broadway star Mandy Gonzalez performs a brand new hip
Speaker 1: hop track about the pioneering labor activists. This is Historical Records,
Speaker 1: the show that proves in order to make history, you
Speaker 1: have to make some noise.
Speaker 2: Hey, listeners, Niminy here, what's that ringling sound? You ask? Oh? Nothing,
Speaker 2: Just this awesome scooter I found. Can you believe it
Speaker 2: was just lying on the floor of the bunker. Perfect
Speaker 2: timing too, you see. I woke up this morning and
Speaker 2: realize just how much history there is. There is so
Speaker 2: much work to do when here at Historical Records are
Speaker 2: simply not working fast enough. But this scooter will help
Speaker 2: me get it all done. First, let me put on
Speaker 2: my helmet. Then let's see just how fast I can go. Hey,
Speaker 2: robot voice.
Speaker 3: Roll that voice initiating.
Speaker 2: Initiating, hurry up, robot voice. I need you to time
Speaker 2: me while I scoop to the other end of the hall.
Speaker 2: There's no time to lose, Okay, start the clock in
Speaker 2: three two one go what.
Speaker 4: And so?
Speaker 2: How long was that?
Speaker 5: Four point three seconds?
Speaker 3: A new record.
Speaker 6: I've got a need to speed.
Speaker 2: Indeed, think of how much work I can get done,
Speaker 2: all the historical figures I can learn about, all the
Speaker 2: songs I can write. Oh, this is going to be
Speaker 2: my most productive episode ever. Listeners, it's time to get
Speaker 2: this show on the road.
Speaker 3: Historical Record.
Speaker 7: You are now listening to Historical.
Speaker 2: To make history, you got to have struggles to make history.
Speaker 2: You got to show toys. Cannot be quiet loud as
Speaker 2: the riot. To make history, you gotta make some noise.
Speaker 2: Welcome back to Historical Records, where we conduct highly experimental
Speaker 2: experiments combining history and hip hop. Working at top speed
Speaker 2: gets me a bit winded.
Speaker 6: But those are the.
Speaker 2: Breaks, or I guess these are the breaks anyway. Today's
Speaker 2: episode is about labor activist Emma tenne Yuka, but.
Speaker 6: Before we get to her, there's so much work to do.
Speaker 2: First order of business, check in on Tina and the
Speaker 2: rest of the raccoons and see how today's beat is
Speaker 2: coming along. I'll just give a knock here on.
Speaker 6: The studio door.
Speaker 2: Hey, Tina, I hope you don't mind that I opened
Speaker 2: the door, but I couldn't wait for you to open it.
Speaker 2: Time waiting is time wasted? Anyway, I'm checking in on
Speaker 2: today's beat.
Speaker 6: And whoa, what is going on?
Speaker 2: You're doing yoga?
Speaker 6: There's no time for yoga. TikTok, Tina. We have to
Speaker 6: finish this song. Cut out.
Speaker 2: Well, if you already finished the first half of today's beat,
Speaker 2: you'd better get started on the second half. Chop chop
Speaker 2: hop to it.
Speaker 6: No time to waste.
Speaker 2: Let me turn off these yoga tunes so you can focus.
Speaker 2: I said, no time. I'm off to check on Phil
Speaker 2: the hype Man. We need Phil to be ready with
Speaker 2: his A plus hype game or we'll fall behind schedule.
Speaker 2: Off to film office. I can't believe I caught those
Speaker 2: raccoons slipping. How are we gonna get everything done if
Speaker 2: we don't do it fast, fast, fast. Hey, maybe I
Speaker 2: should look into adding a laptop connection to the scooter
Speaker 2: so I can get even more work done on the go. Oh,
Speaker 2: look at that I'm already at Feel's office, even though
Speaker 2: Robot Voice and the raccoons were doing some new age lollygagon.
Speaker 6: There's no need to worry about Phil.
Speaker 2: It's basically a human energy drink, so that's absolutely.
Speaker 6: No way he'll be fast asleep.
Speaker 8: Part of people say what ye woo oh?
Speaker 6: He even hipes when he snores.
Speaker 2: All right, niminy, don't be distracted by how cute Phil
Speaker 2: is when he's sleep HIPing. Get back to work and
Speaker 2: wake this man up so we can get to work,
Speaker 2: I said, Sila, Oh he's still fast asleep, Thank goodness.
Speaker 2: Phil is a textbook hype man, so he always keeps
Speaker 2: an airhorn nearby and in three two one, Hello, hey Phil,
Speaker 2: quick question for you.
Speaker 8: I bet it's a good world. Lay it on me, Sure.
Speaker 6: Thing, Phil? What were you doing sleeping?
Speaker 8: Huh, tough butt fare. I just felt like my batteries
Speaker 8: be did recharge, And you know, since there wasn't any
Speaker 8: hype in to do, I thought maybe I'd make like
Speaker 8: a cat and take a quick nap.
Speaker 2: Miro, Philip, there is always hyping to do. Coffee deal,
Speaker 2: seize the day, Rise and.
Speaker 8: Grind, okay, rise and grind. What am I grinding.
Speaker 2: I don't know, coffee beans.
Speaker 6: Maybe here?
Speaker 2: Take these are.
Speaker 8: These coffee beans? Yeah, but you don't drink coffee.
Speaker 2: Philly, my man? Is that what a hype man would say?
Speaker 8: I mean, yeah, coffee. You know, I'm always on the
Speaker 8: coffee grind, espresso drip.
Speaker 2: Wo, that's more like it. Gosh, I'm glad I found
Speaker 2: this scooter. I'm getting so much done. Now, off to
Speaker 2: the library to check on Gabe Today's Historian. And look,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna have a schedule.
Speaker 6: I'm doing it. I'm working faster and smarter.
Speaker 2: I'm headed for the library. Good thing I was wearing
Speaker 2: my helmet.
Speaker 3: Nimity, I heard a huge crash. Are you okay?
Speaker 2: I'm fine.
Speaker 6: Sorry about your books, Gabe.
Speaker 2: No worries.
Speaker 3: The books are fine. I'll clean them up after lunch.
Speaker 6: Lunch.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this is my lunch break, Today's Panini day. Yum game.
Speaker 2: There's no time for my historian to take lunch. We
Speaker 2: have to explore the life of Emma Tenna Yuka, write
Speaker 2: a song, and now we have to put away these books.
Speaker 6: We can't fall behind schedule.
Speaker 8: What schedule?
Speaker 2: The one that we don't want to fall behind.
Speaker 3: Niminy, really don't worry about it. You just crashed a scooter.
Speaker 3: You should sit and take a break. Have some of
Speaker 3: my panini.
Speaker 6: I've got extra.
Speaker 2: Panini more like punin no as in no time. We
Speaker 2: have to get to today's historical figure. If you're still hungry,
Speaker 2: I have a great idea for eating on the go,
Speaker 2: on the go, gulp tube for gulping food on the go.
Speaker 2: That sounds awful, Bye awful? Do you mean efficient?
Speaker 8: I do not.
Speaker 3: Food isn't meant to be gulped on the go. Lunch
Speaker 3: breaks are good for people, and they're good for workers.
Speaker 2: They are they are.
Speaker 3: There's something Emma tana Yuka would have passionately supported too.
Speaker 3: Did you know she believed in workers' rights so strongly
Speaker 3: that she went to jail.
Speaker 2: Really, that's amazing. I need to see that. Where's this
Speaker 2: week's history simulator?
Speaker 3: You're standing on it the scooter? Yep, I was wondering
Speaker 3: where I left it. Let me just flip the simulator
Speaker 3: switch on.
Speaker 8: Ready to go?
Speaker 2: Aren't you forgetting something?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 8: My helmet?
Speaker 6: Now we're ready to go.
Speaker 3: Welcome to San Antonio, nineteen twenty.
Speaker 6: Woo, this place is I'm busy.
Speaker 2: They're singers, speakers, people waving newspapers. Are we in some
Speaker 2: kind of plaza.
Speaker 3: We are in the Plaza Plaza del Zacapte, to be exact.
Speaker 3: It's known today as Millam Park, but in the nineteen
Speaker 3: twenties it was the place for Mexican Americans to exchange
Speaker 3: news and ideas. It was where a lot of socialists
Speaker 3: and anarchists would come and spread their ideas about radical
Speaker 3: social change.
Speaker 2: I've heard the phrase getting on your soapbox, but I've
Speaker 2: never seen anyone actually do it.
Speaker 6: What do Look at that guy over there with the newspaper.
Speaker 2: What's he doing?
Speaker 3: He's reading the latest news from Mexico. There was a
Speaker 3: recent revolution where people fought against the government. Some people
Speaker 3: had to flee, and a lot of them ended up
Speaker 3: here in San Antonio. So they're anxious to hear the
Speaker 3: latest news about the new government back in Mexico.
Speaker 6: Hey, I see a little girl. Is that who I
Speaker 6: think it is?
Speaker 2: It?
Speaker 8: Sure is.
Speaker 3: That's a young Amatanayuka here with her grandfather. He's helping
Speaker 3: to raise Emma and he's making sure she learns everything,
Speaker 3: so he brings her here. Mika, go and listen to
Speaker 3: the different speakers and bring me back some interesting news.
Speaker 6: Yes, well, look at her run.
Speaker 2: She's so eager to hear the news.
Speaker 8: Oh.
Speaker 3: She soaks up all the energy and political discussion in
Speaker 3: the plaza like a sponge. The plaza is her school
Speaker 3: outside of school, where she learns about religion, socialism, labor movements,
Speaker 3: the injustice of segregation, and the struggle of the poor
Speaker 3: all over the world.
Speaker 2: Ooh, here's your gums, and she is ronic. I wonder
Speaker 2: what she heard, A Wilow.
Speaker 6: The railroad workers have voted to go on strike.
Speaker 3: Very good, Mica, very good.
Speaker 2: She can't be more than one eight. How amazing that
Speaker 2: she is learning all this stuff at such a young age.
Speaker 3: She's off to a radical start. Wait until you see
Speaker 3: her in high school.
Speaker 6: Now.
Speaker 3: It's nineteen thirty three, right smack in the middle of
Speaker 3: the Great Depression. People all over the United States and
Speaker 3: the rest of the world are having a really hard
Speaker 3: time making a living and getting enough to eat.
Speaker 2: I see Emma, she's under that tree reading a book.
Speaker 3: Emma is always reading books. She's a junior in high school,
Speaker 3: where she's both a star athlete and a star scholar.
Speaker 3: Did you know she formed an afterschool reading club.
Speaker 6: Awesome?
Speaker 3: I love books, so do I, and so does Emma
Speaker 3: looks like she's reading The Advancing Proletariats.
Speaker 8: What is that?
Speaker 3: It's a booklet published by the Industrial Workers of the World.
Speaker 3: The IWW, also known as the Wobblies, are an international workers'
Speaker 3: union that was founded in nineteen oh five. That pamphlet
Speaker 3: is encouraging workers to unite and use their collective power
Speaker 3: to fight for better treatment.
Speaker 2: She's learning about workers' unions at sixteen.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, she's learning all kinds of advanced stuff. She
Speaker 3: reads enthusiastically about the Wobbleys, Thomas Paine, Karl Marx, Tolstoy,
Speaker 3: Charles A. Beard and Moore. Do you see the size
Speaker 3: of her book bag?
Speaker 6: How does she even carry it?
Speaker 2: Santa could never Hey, who's that boy approaching Emma? Oh?
Speaker 3: That's one of her classmates. He's a member of one
Speaker 3: of the school's Latino groups, Ulla Eima gomostas Ola.
Speaker 8: Hmm.
Speaker 2: He looks like he wants to ask her something, but
Speaker 2: he's hesitating.
Speaker 3: Probably because he already knows the answers.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 3: He's part of the League of United Latin American Citizens
Speaker 3: and he wants Emma to join their cause.
Speaker 2: But why would she say no?
Speaker 3: Because this group and other groups like it advocate for
Speaker 3: something called assimilation.
Speaker 6: What does that mean?
Speaker 3: They want to gain acceptance in society by acting more
Speaker 3: like the white people who often treat them unfairly. Emma
Speaker 3: knows that they want her to join just because she
Speaker 3: has lighter skin, meaning white people might be more willing
Speaker 3: to acceps. But she's only interested in a movement that
Speaker 3: helps all people.
Speaker 6: Ah, I see.
Speaker 2: Oh, now she's getting up and packing her book away.
Speaker 2: Where's she off to?
Speaker 3: She's on her way to the Fink Cigar Company to
Speaker 3: join the picket line.
Speaker 2: What's a picket line?
Speaker 8: I'll show you.
Speaker 6: Let's go.
Speaker 3: We've arrived at the Fink Cigar Company. See that big
Speaker 3: group of people walking in front of the factory.
Speaker 2: They're holding signs enchanting strike, Strike.
Speaker 3: That's a picket line. It's one way that workers fight
Speaker 3: for better treatment. They refuse to go into the building
Speaker 3: to work and instead stay outside and protest the low
Speaker 3: pay and the bad working conditions.
Speaker 6: And there's Emma.
Speaker 2: She's holding a sign yup.
Speaker 3: At the young age of sixteen, Emma is joining the
Speaker 3: Fink Cigar Company strike.
Speaker 2: Police whistles, What are the police doing here?
Speaker 6: Nobody here is in danger?
Speaker 3: Business owners don't like it, but work go on strike
Speaker 3: it costs them money, so they often use the police
Speaker 3: to try to break up the picket lines and force
Speaker 3: the workers to give up their cause.
Speaker 8: You're there, you're under arrest.
Speaker 2: Oh, they're arresting Emma, but she didn't do anything wrong.
Speaker 3: It'll be okay, and Emma will be okay. In fact,
Speaker 3: getting crested is what inspires her to go on to
Speaker 3: make history. Let's go to nineteen thirty eight. Okay, it's
Speaker 3: January thirty first, nineteen thirty eight, and we're outside of
Speaker 3: the Delicious Pecan Company.
Speaker 2: Oooh pecans. That explains the delicious smell. Are we stopping
Speaker 2: for a snack?
Speaker 3: No, we're here because this is where Emma Tenayuka made
Speaker 3: her biggest contribution to the workers' rights movement. Niminy, what
Speaker 3: do you know about shelling pecans?
Speaker 6: P conzabt sholls?
Speaker 3: Not once these workers are through with them. But shelling
Speaker 3: pecans is hard, dangerous work. These women work seven days
Speaker 3: a week, all will being exposed respiratory diseases like tuberculosis,
Speaker 3: and they get paid less than two dollars a week.
Speaker 2: Oh that is so unfair.
Speaker 3: Emma thought so too, which is why she took up
Speaker 3: the cause. Look there she is giving one of her
Speaker 3: trademark passionate speeches.
Speaker 7: Workers, we must unite against these unfair conditions.
Speaker 6: Copita laitana.
Speaker 2: What are they calling her?
Speaker 3: La capitana, which means the captain. They've unanimously elected Emma
Speaker 3: as their leader, and they're about to follow her to
Speaker 3: the picket line.
Speaker 2: We can no longer tolerate these terrible working conditions.
Speaker 6: We are on strike stright, there are so many of them.
Speaker 3: Almost twelve thousand workers walked off the job. It's the
Speaker 3: largest strike in San Antonio history, and it was the
Speaker 3: first major Mexican American action for civil rights and economic justice.
Speaker 2: I can't believe if Emma is leading this huge movement,
Speaker 2: she's only twenty two. Oh no, the police are coming
Speaker 2: to this strike too. Yep.
Speaker 3: The mayor of San Antonio sent the police out with
Speaker 3: tear gas and clubs to break up the picket lines.
Speaker 3: This is an illegal gathering.
Speaker 6: You are ordered to disperse immediately, right right, These workers
Speaker 6: are not backing down, That's right.
Speaker 3: The Pecan shullers went on strike for a whole three months.
Speaker 3: Tenna Yuka's passionate speeches brought national attention to the strike
Speaker 3: and earned her the nickname La facion Naria that Dejas.
Speaker 3: Historians today regard the strike as the first successful large
Speaker 3: scale act of Mexican American struggle for civil rights and justice.
Speaker 6: Amazing.
Speaker 2: I can't believe someone would care so much about fair
Speaker 2: working conditions that they risk getting arrested or beaten.
Speaker 3: Up or something worse. Emma received a lot of threats
Speaker 3: of violence and death just for striking. Emma was a
Speaker 3: member of something called the Communist Party in the nineteen thirties.
Speaker 3: People were very afraid of the Communists and believed that
Speaker 3: they had to stop them at all costs. It made
Speaker 3: Emma's work very dangerous. Even the FBI came to spy
Speaker 3: on her.
Speaker 2: Oh my goodness, did she go onto hiding. Nope.
Speaker 3: She left the picket lines, but spent the rest of
Speaker 3: her life teaching and mentoring other activists. A lot of
Speaker 3: people say that without Emma Tenayuka, there may have been
Speaker 3: no Deloresquerta or Caesar Chavez. Let's check out what she
Speaker 3: said in an interview in her seventies.
Speaker 2: She still has such fire in her eyes.
Speaker 3: And a lot to say.
Speaker 9: What started out as a movement for organizing for equal
Speaker 9: wages turned into a mass movement against starvation, for civil rights,
Speaker 9: for a minimum wage law, and it changed the character
Speaker 9: of West Side San Antonio.
Speaker 3: The goal of her activism It wasn't a certain ideology
Speaker 3: or an abstract concept, but simply food.
Speaker 2: Food, as in food that should be eaten on a
Speaker 2: RESTful lunch break and not gulped on the go exactly. Hmm,
Speaker 2: this gives me a lot to think about. I think
Speaker 2: I might need to make some changes to the way
Speaker 2: I've been working. Let's head back to the bunker. Oh,
Speaker 2: we made him back. Oh hey, all the raccoons are here.
Speaker 2: I can't wait to tell you all about Emma Tenna Yuka.
Speaker 6: Yes, it is time for the song.
Speaker 2: Indeed, let's turn this history into an epic showstopping song
Speaker 2: for the ages, featuring Broadway legend Mandy Gonzalez.
Speaker 6: So here's what you need to know.
Speaker 7: Year's nineteen thirty eight and San Antonio striking for our
Speaker 7: right to get what we're old. Strikes running long, though,
Speaker 7: and the mood is low. Just want to little mo
Speaker 7: but they still say no. Up to twenty thousand strong,
Speaker 7: our numbers grow reason by the men, they will hit
Speaker 7: it stick they mayical.
Speaker 6: This ain't ever happened in the us Pibo. Three months
Speaker 6: with thousand, we've been.
Speaker 7: Off to flow and we don't know how long that.
Speaker 4: The throng can go, like a powder cake that's about
Speaker 4: to blow.
Speaker 6: But thank god we got a leader to control the
Speaker 6: flow management. How that's working long even on the weekends.
Speaker 7: Make your only peanuts yet we even selling peek can't
Speaker 7: need it some hope.
Speaker 6: A young sister the beacon and Emma Tennor, you got.
Speaker 2: Here's what you speaking for?
Speaker 8: They treated how they.
Speaker 6: And the tota simple too.
Speaker 5: For kness, and you reduce for demasuras, dream big holiday.
Speaker 6: Yours a Latina.
Speaker 7: Emma's parents more poor but practical, But in the buzza
Speaker 7: at night with her.
Speaker 2: Bramps, she would listen to the radicals.
Speaker 7: She read words magical, picked up common sense from Thomas.
Speaker 6: Paine, and from Mark she learned of capital first joining.
Speaker 7: To strike at sixteen, she wasn't natural a residents at
Speaker 7: the protest, which made her fight more fanatical.
Speaker 8: Her flight was rational, living.
Speaker 7: Under the fists of capitalists with their backing all she
Speaker 7: joined an org found a lack in the leadership, especially
Speaker 7: bat At reaching the Latina membership after high school.
Speaker 6: She led more and led more.
Speaker 7: Read more manifestos, no emmsn as red, the PA can't strike.
Speaker 7: She runs it at twenty one workers getting four conditions.
Speaker 6: The low front. Emma's on the front line. The crowd
Speaker 6: is at a low hump on the vega phone.
Speaker 2: She is shouting on the door.
Speaker 5: Were they treated how they do? Had a totus simple
Speaker 5: tude for nasson, you produce for strongmus dreamdig halliday.

Speaker 7: Oh honest, they harassing us. We marching mass, but the
Speaker 7: breast here gassing us.
Speaker 6: So now they're targeting our comrade.
Speaker 7: Emma feature so powerful they are like an antenna raw
Speaker 7: casted wide from the press to the wrong manner.
Speaker 6: This creates in the movement a wrong dilemma. There's a
Speaker 6: rift afraid the public would be nipped if.
Speaker 7: They knew the leader of the strike was get The
Speaker 7: communist just applied to try to make the people stop,
Speaker 7: but consequently Emma lost her stuff.
Speaker 6: She stayed on unofficial to combat.
Speaker 7: The regime won the battle, but at a toll for
Speaker 7: Archie secured rais until the greedy came and stole ardream.
Speaker 6: A few months later, we're replaced with machines.

Speaker 2: I could really feel Emma's passion coming through in every
Speaker 2: beat and every note. Great work, raccoons. One other thing,
Speaker 2: I'm sorry I was pushing you all so hard Earlier,
Speaker 2: seeing how hard Emma Tenna Yuka fought for workers to
Speaker 2: be treated fairly made me realize I was taking fair
Speaker 2: working conditions for granted. People fought to earn those rights,
Speaker 2: and I shouldn't be so quick to forget that. Thanks. Hey,
Speaker 2: have you guys ever thought of starting a union? Yeah,
Speaker 2: here's a pamphlet. It's called so You're a Raccoon who
Speaker 2: wants to start a union? I got it from Gabe.
Speaker 6: I know it's pretty specific.
Speaker 2: Leave it to Gabe to find the perfect literature for
Speaker 2: the moment. I feel just the hype man I was
Speaker 2: looking for.
Speaker 8: I don't need to finish that, Senches, I know exactly
Speaker 8: what you want to hear. Don't worry. I've been hyping
Speaker 8: non stop since we had a little talk. I told
Speaker 8: Tina that she made the sikest beat I've ever heard.
Speaker 8: I told some birds outside the bunker that their nest
Speaker 8: was off the hook, and I told robot boys I
Speaker 8: won't stop hyping until it Giga works.
Speaker 2: Who actually, Phil, I was going to ask you to
Speaker 2: take a break. Well, I want to apologize for interrupting
Speaker 2: your nap earlier. Going forward, you can take all the
Speaker 2: naps you need, as long as we are too behind
Speaker 2: the schedule.
Speaker 8: Of course, of course I'll wear this giant alarm clock
Speaker 8: for a reason.
Speaker 2: You know, Oh I'm not wearing clocks. Was just the
Speaker 2: standard hype man uniform.
Speaker 8: It is, but it's because being a hype man requires
Speaker 8: impeccable timing, including getting up from naps right on time.
Speaker 2: Yeah awesome. Oh hey, are you interested in joining a union?
Speaker 2: Here's a pamphlet.
Speaker 3: So you're a hype man man who wants to join
