“There is no hierarchy of oppression”
Broadcast on November 23, 2023
Hosted by Chris Garlock and Elise Bryant
Kevin Cummings has been a member of the Machinists Union for 35 years; he’s also a Native American who traces his lineage to both the Lumbee and Cherokee peoples, which means that Kevin Cummings has spent his life fighting for rights, whether it was his fellow workers or his Native brothers and sisters.
On today’s show, we talk with Kevin about those twin struggles, as well as his unexpected post-retirement career as a singer-songwriter.
Today’s music: I Cried Today, Stolen Angels, Angels Here Among Us, Someday, all written and performed by Kevin Cummings and recorded for the Labor Heritage Power Hour.
Produced by Chris Garlock; engineered by Shepsu Baker.
