As we work to build a Labor-Led Anti-Monopoly coalition, we decided to put the spotlight on a progressive hero during the Popular Front Period and subsequent Post-War Period. This man, Vito Marcantonio, bravely fought against attacks on labor, civil liberties, communists, and socialists during the outbreak of McCarthyism. He was the only Congressperson to voice opposition to the US-initiated Korean War in 1950.
