Spectre Presents: Class Struggle And Racial Justice After The Union Drive At Amazon In AlabamaSun, May 23rd, 2021, at 2 PM PDT
Speakers:Donna Murch and Michael Goldfield David McNally will moderate
The focus of this panel, hosted by Spectre Journal and moderated by David McNally, will be on labor and Black radicalism in the South in the 20th and 21st centuries, and the strategic importance of anti-racist union organizing. It will build off of two books, Living for the City: Migration, Education and the Rise of the Black Panther Party in Oakland, California by Donna Murch (which stresses the Southern Black radical roots of the BPP) and The Southern Key by Michael Goldfield, which emphasizes the deep roots of interracial radicalism in the South and the region’s strategic importance for left and working class politics. With these perspectives in mind, the panel will examine the recent union drive at Amazon in Alabama.
