229, Escalation of conflict

In the long course of history, there are only a few ways to resist a certain system!

War, protest, strike—those are the three common methods.

War is something the Black people of the North District lack both the courage and combat strength for.

Protest, as the incident before the boardwalk beach already proved, doesn't work under the severe firepower oppression in Atlantic City.

That leaves only the last method, strike!

The organizer of this strike was a Black man named Bart Bild!

This man had migrated to Atlantic City from New York during this period. Back in New York, Bart Bild was a musician in an underground bar, but as the number of bars dwindled due to the spread of the Prohibition throughout the United States, Bart Bild eventually lost his job after moving between several underground bars.

Left without options, Bart Bild saw a report about Atlantic City in the newspaper and decided to bring his family there.

Now he's working at the Block Tavern on the boardwalk.
