Lane Format: mp3 Length: 12 hrs and 15 mins Release date: 02-25-22 Ratings: 4.5 out of 5 stars, 2 ratings Genres: Labor & Industrial Relations Publisher's Summary: For Jobs and Freedom: Race and Labor in America since 1865 describes the African American struggle to obtain equal rights in the workplace and organized labor's response to their demands. Award-winning historian Robert H. Zieger asserts that the promise of jobs was similar to the 40-acres-and-a-mule restitution pledged to African Americans during the Reconstruction era. The inconsistencies between rhetoric and action encouraged workers, both men and women, to organize themselves into unions to fight against unfair hiring practices and workplace discrimination.
