Book Overview

The revelatory history of the American labor movement, from independent journalist and Teen Vogue labor columnist Kim Kelly, now in a "rousing...passionate" (Kirkus Reviews) young readers edition.

The history of American labor is full of incredible leaders, organizers, and workers, but not all of them have gotten the recognition they deserve.

People like...

Rosina Tucker, a Black woman who helped railroad workers organize the first Black-led labor union in America,

Maria Moreno, an Indigenous and Mexican woman who fought for farmworkers in the fields of California,

Ah Quon McElrath, a Chinese Hawaiian woman who united the laborers of the vast sugarcane plantations,

Ben Fletcher, a Black dockworker who organized a strong, interracial union that ran the ports of Philadelphia,

Judy Heumann, a disabled Jewish schoolteacher who became the mother of the Disability Rights Movement...and many more.

With blood, sweat, and tears, they fought to win the rights we hold so dear today.

Their voices reveal the true history of American labor.
