Civil Rights

“It is not mere coincidence that where civil rights are most strongly suppressed, unions are most vigorously opposed. Nor is it coincidence that where negroes exist under miserable social and economic conditions, wages are lowest for all workers, social legislation least advanced and anti-labor legislation most severe.” - George Meany telegram to King, 1961
