Half a century ago, the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, and
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech, fundamentally
changed America. King championed the workers’ cause, and his words and
impassioned work led to the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
Richard Trumka, president of the AFL-CIO, the largest federation of
unions in the United States, examines the connection between labor
rights and civil rights. Trumka, a third-generation coal miner, argues
for policy efforts to better ensure the right to vote, to guarantee
unemployment insurance and a higher minimum wage, and changes in
criminal justice to reduce levels of incarceration.
