He Had A Dream Martin L. King had a dream and so do the Conway Watch Dogs. We have a dream that one day soon we will be Teamsters. Remember that Dr. King was coming back from a rally to help organize a company in Memphis. All races should celebrate the " Dream"
Martin Luther King Jr. Talks about the Labor Movement
ReplyDelete"The labor movement was the principal force that transformed misery and despair into hope and progress. Out of its bold struggles, economic and social reform gave birth to unemployment insurance, old-age pensions, government relief for the destitute and, above all, new wage levels that meant not mere survival but a tolerable life. The captains of industry did not lead this transformation; they resisted it until they were overcome. When in the thirties the wave of union organization crested over the nation, it carried to secure shores not only itself but the whole society."
—Speech to the state convention of the Illinois AFL-CIO, Oct. 7, 1965
