On October 17, 1937, Portuguese communist José Bernardo was deported to the Tarrafal Penal Colony in Cape Verde, becoming one of the first political prisoners held at the concentration camp established by António de Oliveira Salazar's fascist Estado Novo dictatorship.

Why now: Labor history enthusiasts mark the anniversary of Bernardo's deportation to Tarrafal each October 17.
