Justice Rising
In 1963 the playwright Lorraine Hansberry commented that, among elected officials, at least, Robert F. Kennedy was “the best a white America has to offer.” She did not necessarily mean that as a compliment. Many associated Kennedy with his work as an attorney helping the red-baiting inquisitorial committee of U.S. Senator Joseph McCarthy in the 1950s, and Kennedy's later role in cracking down on union corruption. In 1968, when he ran for presiden…

Norway’s Democratic Challenge
This article provides an overview of Norwegian labor history and social democracy, which challenges American capitalism and the labor movement to consider Martin Luther King, Jr.’s call for a “third way,” a more humane system mixing highly regulated and taxed capitalism with a strong social system powered by strong unions and a truce between workers and capitalists. The Nordic model flies in the face of American avaricious capitalism and challeng…
The Rise and Fall of the Southern Tenant Farmers Union in Arkansas
James D. Ross Jr. provides an important addition to literature on the Southern Tenant Farmers Union (Stfu) during the union's heyday from 1934 to 1937. The Great Depression devastated sharecroppers and tenant farmers in the union's base in Arkansas, while the New Deal's Agricultural Adjustment Administration (Aaa) subsidized landowners to plow under crops to raise the price on the market. Without passing along part of the subsidies to agricultura…
Lane Windham. Knocking on Labor’s Door
Economists and pundits who should know better often ask why, after the economy rebounded from the 2007–2009 Great Recession, profits and incomes for the top 1 percent have skyrocketed but wages for most American workers have remained flat or have fallen. The answer to this question is spelled out clearly by Lane Windham in Knocking on Labor’s Door: the wholesale destruction of unions and worker rights. President Ronald Reagan led the attacks in t…
We Shall Not Be Moved/No nos moverán
Labor and civil rights activists, Spanish and Chilean antifascists, and South African freedom fighters share the song “We Shall Not Be Moved” (in Spanish, “No nos moverán”). David Spener chronicles this song and its impact across multiple social justice movements, linking its origins to verses in the Bible and in hymnals dating to the Great Awakening in the 1830s. He believes that slaves sang a version of the song and shows how it wound through v…
A Dreadful Deceit
Leilah Danielson. American Gandhi
Leilah Danielson’s American Gandhi: A. J. Muste and the History of Radicalism in the Twentieth Century weaves the story of Muste’s unlikely life (1885–1967) into a deeply informed biography and intellectual history touching on twentieth-century religion, labor and civil rights organizing, and radical pacifism. Jo Ann Ooiman Robinson’s earlier treatment, Abraham Went Out: A Biography of A. J. Muste (1981), presented a sometimes disparaging view of…
Sharecroppers’ Troubadour”
Drawing on Pete Seeger’s song archive and an extensive oral history the author conducted with John Handcox of the Southern Tenant Farmers’ Union, this article draws attention to the power of songs and oral poetry as forms of oral history that provide “a way in” to our “emotional history” and that help us to better understand labor and civil rights struggles in the American South. Using examples from the life story of Handcox, the author asks: how…

Dreams and Nightmares
This book serves as a useful primer for anyone interested in reviewing the basic frameworks of the lives of Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X. Britta Waldschmidt-Nelson's work is well organized and written, and reviews the relevant literature. The introduction summarizes America's horrific racial oppression and the conflicting responses to it by the black freedom movement. One strategy sought to beat down the doors of America's racial capitali…
From Civil Rights to Human Rights
Race, Labor, and the City in the Obama Era
In “Race, Labor and the City in the Obama Era: King's Unfinished Agenda,” Honey surveys what has happened in Memphis since the King assassination. He argues that King's phase one of civil rights has largely succeeded but that King's phase two of economic justice has not. As is the case all over the nation, the black working class has suffered disproportionately from deindustrialization, loss of unions, and the trickle-down economics of racial cap…
Forty Years Since King
Located in the heart of the Mississippi river delta, Memphis often drips with humidity so heavy that merely walking outside is the equivalent of taking a shower. Rain often falls so hard that people scurry for shelter. On February 1, 1968, Echol Cole, thirty-six, and Robert Walker, thirty, rode out a driving Memphis rainstorm by climbing inside one of the sanitation division's old “wiener barrel” packing trucks, whose walls were caked with garbag…

It provides striking firsthand accounts of the experiences of black southerners living under segregation in Memphis, Tennessee. Eloquent and personal, these or…
