Six months after the Selma to Montgomery marches and just weeks
after the passage of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, a group from
Martin Luther King Jr.'s staff arrived in Chicago, eager to apply
his nonviolent approach to social change in a northern city. Once
there, King's Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC)
joined the locally based Coordinating Council of Community
Organizations (CCCO) to form the Chicago Freedom Movement. The open
housing demonstrations they organized eventually resulted in a
controversial agreement with Mayor Richard J. Daley and other city
leaders, the fallout of which has historically led some to conclude
that the movement was largely ineffective. In this important
volume, an eminent team of scholars and activists offer an
alternative assessment of the Chicago Freedom Movement's impact on
race relations and social justice, both in the city and across the
nation. Building upon recent works, the contributors reexamine the
movement and illuminate its lasting contributions in order to
challenge conventional perceptions that have underestimated its
impressive legacy.

The story of three brothers who were instrumental in creating the
UAW, one of America's great unions. The tale of the Reuther
brothers - Walter, Roy, and Victor - is more than a story of how
one of America's great unions was created. It is also a powerful
example of how teamwork, dedication, and concern for others can
improve the lives of many people. This book portrays the brothers'
lifelong commitment to each other and to workers' rights, while
charting the career paths that ultimately led each one to his
involvement with the United Automobile Workers (UAW). As president
of the UAW from 1946-70, Walter Reuther became one of the most
important labor leaders in American history. As sons of poor German
immigrants in Wheeling, West Virginia, the three brothers had to
work hard and help each other learn skills that would earn money
for their family. Also, their father taught them the importance of
education and being able to speak up for their rights. Walter was
the first to enter the auto industry, having become an expert die
maker. But as he and his brothers began to earn money, they did not
ignore the poverty of others or the widespread social problems of
their country. In a clear, lively narration that explains many
important concepts to young readers, this book describes a string
of fascinating events, including Walter and Victor's trip to Nazi
Germany, their days spent teaching in a Soviet factory, and the
strikes they organized in the United States. Against the background
of the Depression and the Civil Rights movement, The Reuther
Brothers helps readers to understand the ongoing struggles for
economic and social justice.
