The firm, eventually called Goodman, Eden, Millender and Bedrosian, closed in 1998. Reply This is really good stuff. Part of what I call a "new narrative," recasting the story of the heartbeat of our proletarian movement of the past century. Much activity was riveted to the gravity well of industrial unionism and located at Local 600. Describing how and why the African American Freedom Movement of the past century could only be expressed on the basis of the proletariat in places like Detroit would make interesting reading.
For instance Rosa Parks first airplane ride was to Detroit to speak at Local 600 who paid for this trip in the late 1950s. If memory serves me correct. Did not Crockett and the fellows form the Fair employment and Practice Committee at Local 600? The communists, socialists, revolutionaries of all kinds never surrendered and rolled over, even during the height of the Cold War anti-communist campaign. The House Un American Acidity Committee met its grave diggers in Detroit. I guess your - pardon "our," work is cut out.
