Kim Kelly: Fight to Win!, Gebunden

Klappentext

The revelatory history of the American labor movement, from independent journalist and Teen Vogue labor columnist Kim Kelly, now in a "rousing...passionate" (Kirkus Reviews) young readers edition.

The history of American labor is full of incredible leaders, organizers, and workers, but not all of them have gotten the recognition they deserve.

Ben Fletcher, a Black dockworker who organized a strong, interracial union that ran the ports of Philadelphia,

With blood, sweat, and tears, they fought to win the rights we hold so dear today.
