Union Worker Supports Civil Rights
Members of a Des Moines United Packinghouse Workers of America local picket outside a Woolworth's store to demonstrate their opposition to segregation of Woolworth stores in the South. The UPWA had a long record of support for the rights of African American workers, and it was one of the few unions to attempt to organize black workers. |
