Labor, Race, and the South
Manage episode 280704144 series 20984
The failure to unionize the South, to organize Southern workers in the 1930s and ’40s on the basis of interracial worker solidarity, had momentous and enduring consequences for race relations and worker well-being in the U.S. as a whole. So argues Michael Goldfield, who in his latest book points to the marginalization of leftists within unions and federations like the CIO. (Encore presentation.)
