The Bastille was a fortress, armory and political prison, and was a symbol of tyranny, feudal authority and the "divine" rights of kings. The Marquis de Sade had been imprisoned there and was transferred out only 10 days before the storming.

Today in Labor History July 2, 1929: Augusto Sandino left for México to seek aid for his Nicaraguan rebels, fighting the U.S. occupation of his country. The rebellion lasted from 1927-1933. In 1934, he was assassinated by General Anastasio Somoza, who seized power in a 1936 coup d’etat, and who, along with his sons, ran the country as dictators until the Sandinista Revolution of 1979 ended their reign of terror. While in México, during early 1920s, Sandino participated in strikes led by the IWW. Inspired by the Wobblies, he returned to foment revolution in Nicaragua, adopting the IWW's black and red syndicalist colors in their Revolutionary Flag.
