Sommario/riassunto

During the 1950's and 1960's, labour leaders Harold Gibbons and Ernest Calloway championed a new kind of labour movement that regarded workers as 'total persons' interested in both workplace affairs and the exercise of effective citizenship in their communities. Working through Teamsters Local 688 and viewing the city of St Louis as their laboratory, this remarkable interracial duo forged a dynamic political alliance that placed their 'citizen members' on the front lines of epic battles for urban revitalization, improved public services, and the advancement of racial and economic justice.
