DESCRIPTION:Sunday Morning at the Marxist Library\n\nThe Unemployed Exchange 
 Association (UXA) of Oakland in the 1930’s\n\nIn July 1932, at the height 
 of the Great Depression, a group of six unemployed workers began solving 
 their problems by going door-to-door in Oakland’s Dimond-Allendale 
 neighborhood, offering to do home repairs in exchange for "junk" from 
 people's basements and garages.\n\nThey called themselves the Unemployed 
 Exchange Association (UXA). They grew to become the model self-help 
 workers' cooperative, organizing thousands of unemployed in their exchanges 
 of goods and services and abolishing money altogether.\n\nKaren Hancock 
 will present this amazing page of American history with its roots in 
 Oakland.\n\nSponsored by the Institute for the Critical Study of Society at 
 the Niebyl Proctor Marxist Library.\n\nSunday Morning at the Marxist 
 Library is a weekly discussion series inspired by our respect for the work 
 of Karl Marx and our belief that his work will remain as important for the 
 class struggles of the future as they have been for the past.\n\n
