This volume provides a window into race and racism in the American workplace. In their own words, male and female packinghouse workers in the Midwest - mostly African-American - talk of their experiences on the shop floor and picket lines. They tell of their fight between the 1930s and 1960s for economic advancement and racial equality. In cities like Chicago, Kansas city, Omaha, Fort Worth, and Waterloo, Iowa, meatpackers built a union that would defend their interests as workers - and their civil rights.
