Inkokheli yemanyano yabasebenzi uRose Schneiderman (1882-1972) yayingumlilo wokucwangcisa kunye nokukhuthaza ngaphakathi kwentshukumo yabasetyhini bokuqala. Uqale ibinzana lesonka kunye neeroses kwintetho yokuhlanganisa abantu basetyhini ukuba balwele ngaphezulu kwezinto eziyimfuneko. Eli binzana liza kuqhubeka likhuthaze umbongo kunye nenye yeengoma ezidumileyo kwimbali yaseMelika.
Umfuduki ongumJuda osuka ePoland, uSchneiderman wayengumkhosi ekufanele ukuba abalekwe njengoko wayelwela ukuphucula iimeko zokusebenza kwabasetyhini, ukufumana amandla onke, kunye nokuseka iindlela ezifanelekileyo zomsebenzi. Iintetho zakhe zinomgangatho ongapheliyo owenza ukuba ndifune ukuya ezitalatweni neflegi ebomvu esandleni.
Ngelixa imeko zenkulungwane yama-20 yabasetyhini ababhinqileyo abajamelene nayo eMelika zisenokuba ziphucukile, uninzi lwemixholo uSchneiderman ayichukumisayo isengaphezulu kokufanelekileyo, kwaye inokuvakaliswa namhlanje:
Ngalo lonke ixesha abasebenzi bephuma ngendlela ekuphela kwayo abayaziyo ukuba baqhankqalaze ngokuchasene neemeko ezinganyamezelekiyo isandla esomeleleyo somthetho sivunyelwe ukusicinezela kakhulu.
Amagosa karhulumente anamagama kuphela esilumkiso kuthi- isilumkiso sokuba kufuneka sibe noxolo olunamandla… Isandla somthetho esomeleleyo siyasibetha, xa siphakama, siye kwiimeko ezenza ukuba ubomi bunganyamezeleki.

Eyona nto ikhunjulwayo nguSchneiderman yavela njengoko wayekhuthaza abantu basetyhini ukuba bafumane ilungelo lokuvota. Abasetyhini bafaneleke ngaphezulu kokufumana isiseko sokutya-bonke abantu basetyhini, watsho, banelungelo kungekuphela kwesonka, kodwa neeroses.
Oko umfazi osebenzayo akufunayo lilungelo lokuphila, hayi nje ukubakho-ilungelo lobomi njengoko umfazi osisityebi anelungelo lokuphila, kunye nelanga kunye nomculo kunye nobugcisa. Awunanto angenamsebenzi umsebenzi othobekileyo. Umsebenzi kufuneka abe nesonka, kodwa kufuneka abe neerosi, naye.
Uluvo lokuba abahlwempuzekileyo nabona bantu bacinezelekileyo kufuneka bavunyelwe ilanga kunye nomculo kunye nobugcisa njengoko ilungelo lalinjalo ngelo xesha. Yaba sisikhalazo, kwaye ngo-1911 umbhali uJames Oppenheim waphefumlelwa ukuba abhale Umbongo Ngokusekwe kumazwi kaSchneiderman kunye nokuqhuba.
Ngo-1912, uqhankqalazo lwabasetyhini ababelukiweyo eMassachusetts olwahlangatyezwa ngamaqhinga acinezelayo abizwa ngokuba yiSonka kunye neRosi, njengoko babelwela ukutya okwaneleyo kodwa kwanesidima. Umnxeba wezixhobo zomsebenzi ofanelekileyo usajikeleza iingcamango zikaSchneiderman kunye no-Oppenheimer ukuza kuthi ga namhlanje.
Njengoko siza kuhamba, sihamba, kubuhle bemini,
Isigidi samakhitshi amnyama, iwaka leemililitha ezingwevu ezingwevu
Bachukunyiswa kuko konke ukukhanya okuvezwa lilanga ngesiquphe,
Kuba abantu basiva sicula, isonka kunye neerosi, isonka kunye neeroses.Njengoko siza kuhamba, simatsha, sizisa iiNtsuku eziKhulu-
Ukunyuka kwabafazi kuthetha ukunyuka komdyarho-
Akusekho ukubuya kwesidenge kunye nokuvilapha - ishumi elisebenza nzima apho umntu ephumla khona -
Kodwa ukwabelana ngozuko lobomi: Isonka kunye neRoses, Isonka kunye neRoses.
Umbongo ka-Oppenheim uza kuthi kamva ubekwe emculweni, kwaye ingoma evelayo ayisetyenziswanga ngabafazi kuphela kodwa nentshukumo ebanzi yabasebenzi ngokubanzi-njengesiqubulo sendalo sonke sokulwela ukulingana. Kumaxesha anamhlanje kuye kwabhalwa ngabaculi abaninzi kubandakanya uJudy Collins, uJoan Baez, uAni DeFranco noJohn Denver. Imvelaphi yayo kwimbali yamakhosikazi ibhiyozelwa njengesiko lonyaka kwikholeji yaseNtabeni iHolyoke, apho abantu abadala abaphumeleleyo bacula le ngoma.
Amagama anamandla kaSchneiderman awalityelwanga. Ngomhla ofana nanamhlanje, bekufanele ukuba sonke siyabacula. Yonwabela ilanga kunye nomculo kunye nobugcisa.
Ungazimamela ezinye zezi nguqulelo zingezantsi, kwaye xa usenza njalo, khumbula uRose Schneiderman kunye nabantu bakowabo abaye banceda ukwenza uSuku lwaBasetyhini lwaMazwe ngaMazwe ingabi yinyani, kodwa iyimfuneko.
