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.Working class in American history.Labor leadersUnited StatesBiographyWorking classUnited StatesHistoryEqualityUnited StatesHistoryLabor movementUnited StatesHistoryElectronic books.Labor leadersWorking classHistory.EqualityHistory.Labor movementHistory.331.88092/273Bussel Robert1951-895166MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910466882203321Fighting for total person unionism1999997UNINA
