5.0 out of 5 stars
Best book about the working class South I have read.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Southern Labor and Black Civil Rights: ORGANIZING MEMPHIS WORKERS (Working Class in American History) (Paperback)
Can't understand how this country works if you don't see how racism has been used, especially to divide workers. Honey writes about a pivotal time in American history when the working class was organizing and had the potential to transform the South for workers and African-Americans. The lessons are no less true today. A must read for organizers of any persuasion.

A Must for Anyone Interested in Memphis Working Class History,
By
This review is from: Southern Labor and Black Civil Rights: ORGANIZING MEMPHIS WORKERS (Working Class in American History) (Paperback)
Michael Honey does a fantastic job in explaining the CIO's contribution to the Struggle for Civil Rights. The Left-Led CIO Unions, most of all FTA Local 19, prepared a cadre of African-American working class leaders in Memphis, who were, in fact, the precursors to those of the 1960s. A must for anyone interested in the study of the Labor role in Civil Rights History in Memphis and the South in the 1930s-1950s.
