Show Details

Genres: 
In this week's program, Raymond Caballero and Barbara Dudley treat us to a fascinating discussion of labor history from September, 2019 at Powell's Books in Portland. Raymond Caballero, former El Paso mayor, has written a book about Clinton Jencks labor organizing during the 1940s, the Red Scare, Jencks's legal troubles and trial, and the important Supreme Court case that ensued. Barbara Dudley, former Executive Director of the National Lawyers Guild and Greenpeace, talked with Raymond Caballero about his new book McCarthyism vs. Clinton Jencks. This is a story about the repression of labor, a white union organizer and his wife, who helped found the modern Chicano rights struggle, and a long fight for justice and freedom of speech. This story is very relevant today as labor rights are eroded every day. ----------------------------------- This show was recorded by PC Peri and produced by Barb Greene with editing assistance from Dan Handelman.
