For Gene Debs
November 5 was the 167th anniversary of the birth of Eugene Victor Debs - labor leader, socialist, three-time candidate for president and the first president of the American Railway Union, which staged some of the biggest strikes in American labor history.
Today Bernie Sanders and the late great Anne Feeney are among those who celebrate Debs’ life and work. They come to us courtesy of a terrific show, The Radical Songbook Podcast.
It’s hosted by Michael Funke, who’s got 15 years of radio experience and 35 years’ experience as an editor for alternative and union publications. Michael’s a former union steward and a former organizer for Jobs with Justice. His love of music dates back to when he heard Fats Domino on a nickel jukebox in 1955.

Labor History Today is produced by Union City Radio and the Kalmanovitz Initiative for Labor and the Working Poor.
