DESCRIPTION:Solidarity Stories, An Oral History of The ILWU\nA book reading by Harvey 
 Schwartz. \nSchwartz is one of the most important labor oral historians in 
 the country and has published a new book on the 75th anniversary of the San 
 Francisco General Strike, Solidarity Stories, An Oral History of the ILWU. 
 Harvey has spent decades documenting the stories and lives of workers in 
 the ILWU and other unions in Northern California. This book looks at the 
 ILWU from the words of its rank and file members. The ILWU is one of the 
 most democratic unions in the country and the foundation of this union is 
 how through rank and file control this union survived and organized. The 
 struggles and experiences of the membership are brought to life by this 
 important work. His work on oral interviews of workers also has important 
 meaning to the entire labor movement about the need to document the lives 
 of working people and their victories and defeats. Harvey has also worked 
 on histories of Carpenters Local 22 and other unions and the need to have 
 histories of every union local has been taken forward by his continuing 
 labor to tell our history. \nSee
