520 8 This text provides firsthand accounts of the experiences
of black southerners living under segregation in Memphis.
It demonstrates how black workers resisted racial
apartheid and underscores the active role of black working
people in history.
520 1 "The labor of black workers has been crucial to economic
development in the United States. Yet because of racism
and segregation, their contribution remains largely
unknown. This work tells the hidden history of African
American workers in their own words from the 1930s to the
present. It provides first-hand accounts of the
experiences of black southerners living under segregation
in Memphis, Tennessee, the place where Martin Luther King,
Jr., was assassinated during a strike by black sanitation
workers. Eloquent and personal, these oral histories
comprise a unique primary source and provide a new way of
understanding the black labor experience during the
industrial era. Together, the stories demonstrate how
black workers resisted apartheid in American industry and
underscore the active role of black working people in
history."--Jacket.
