DESCRIPTION:70th Anniversary of Harry Bridges Immigration Trial\nIn 1939, the 
 Democratic Roosevelt administration sought to expel ILWU president Harry 
 Bridges for being a member of the Communist party. These immigration trials 
 took place five times and eventually as a result of the support committee 
 and the backing of the membership, this witchhunt was defeated. This was a 
 prelude to the witchhunts in the late 1940’s and 1950’s.\nMeet in front

 Immigration Foundation, trying to save Angel Island from budget cuts 
 at:\nhttp://www.aiisf.org/\nAngel Island was the West Coast's Ellis Island, 
 the immigrant processing station of the 20th century, between 1910 and 
 1940.  Most of the immigrants who came through Angel Island were Asians.  
 Harry Bridges was from Australia. Go to this extraordinary event to learn 
 how a united mass labor movement defeated the union busters, more commonly 
 known as the anti-communist witchhunters demonstrating the strength of the 
 principle, An Injury to One is An Injury to All. \nSee
