Resilient worker coalitions are often found at the intersection of labor and race. On today’s show, from the NC Labor History Revealed podcast, we’ll hear about how North Carolinians formed multi-racial coalitions to fight racism inside and outside the workplace, and how farmworkers leveraged such coalitions to overcome racist inadequacies in federal labor law to secure the largest union contract in North Carolina history.
On this week’s Labor History in Two: The Fight for Equality and Honest Abe’s Stand for Labor.
