| Description: |
Lee Brown was an African-American labour activist who was jailed in the 1950s for protesting against the House Un-American Activities Committee. This is the story of Brown's life from his political awakening as a youth from the rural South to his rise to leadership, time of imprisonment and beyond. |
| Synopsis: |
Strong in the Struggle tells the powerful story of the political awakening of Lee Brown-an African American labor activist and a leader of an interracial union of waterfront workers in New Orleans-as a youth from the rural South, his life from childhood among poor black farmers, his encounters with the Jim Crow system of racial segregation and racial violence, his discovery of the changes that could be won when working people organized into unions, his rise to leadership and his time of imprisonment, and his continuing advocacy of the ideals of racial equality and socialism. |
