Organizing Your Own: The White Fight for Black Power in Detroit
Manage episode 425151009 series 3457890
Contrary to the common belief that white activists were purged from the Black freedom movement in the mid-1960 and 1970s, Black-led organizations in Detroit – including the Northern Student Movement, the City-Wide Citizens Action Committee, and the League of Revolutionary Workers—actually called on white activists to organize within their own white networks to support Black self-determination in education, policing, employment, and labor unions, according to Dr. Say Burgin, author of Organizing Your Own: The White Fight for Black Power in Detroit. Today’s show comes to us from the Tales from the Reuther Library podcast; hear what really happened and why it matters today.
On this week’s Labor History in Two: The year was 1947; that was the day the despised Taft-Hartley Act became law.
