Bill Lucy on MLK; Shubert Sebree on Debs
Today’s show covers a lot of ground, from legendary labor leader Bill Lucy’s memories of Dr. King and the 1968 Memphis sanitation strike to Shubert Sebree’s memories of Gene Debs, founder of the powerful American Railway Union and three-time Socialist candidate for President of the United States.
Bill Lucy has some inspiring advice for those who are carrying on Dr. King’s fight for justice, especially younger activists, and Shubert Sebree reveals a gentler side to Debs, as fierce a labor leader as we’ve ever known.
On this week’s Labor History in Two: the founding of the United Mine Workers, Knights of Labor founder Terrance Powderly, and the 1959 Knox Coal flood disaster.
Music: The Ballad of Eugene Victor Debs; Joe Glazer.
