With labor unrest experiencing a major resurgence today, it’s important to understand the up and down struggle for workers’ rights over the past several decades. Three historians—Clarence Taylor (Reds at the Blackboard: Communism, Civil Rights and the NYC Teachers Union), William Adler (The Man Who Never Died: The Life, Times, and Legacy of Joe Hill, American Labor Icon) and Brian Purnell (Black Power at Work: Community Control, Affirmative Action, and the Construction Industry) look at the American left and the role unions and workers’ movements have played in forcing social change here and across the country. Moderated by Steven Greenhouse (The Big Squeeze: Tough Times for the American Worker)

McCutcheon and friend

The tour kicks off with a musical bang:  “America’s Balladeer” John McCutcheon in concert. The multi-instrumentalist will be performing his own music as well as selections from the forthcoming one-man play he’ll be starring in, “Joe Hill’s Last Will,” written by Si Kahn. The concert will benefit Bread & Roses, a workers’ cultural center in Denver. The book will be on sale, courtesy of Left Hand Books, and the store is graciously offering a $5 discount per book for concertgoers. Local folksinging sensation Elena Klaver joins John for a few songs. Tickets are available online at Brown Paper Tickets.
