Green's study examines an iconic event in the fields of both civil rights history and labor history--the Memphis sanitation workers' strike in 1968, when Martin Luther King was assassinated. Green's study shows that the roots of this struggle reach back into the early 20th century, and that the battle was over basic rights for all African Americans in Memphis. An outstanding and thorough study, highly recommended. ( ) sem resenhas | adicionar uma resenha
