DESCRIPTION:Oakland 1946 General Strike Walk - “We Called it a Work Holiday”\nWith 
 Gifford Hartman of the Flying Picket Historical Society.  \n This walk will 
 revisit the sites of Oakland’s “Work Holiday” that began 
 spontaneously with rank-and-file solidarity with the striking - mostly 
 women - retail clerks at Kahn’s and Hastings department stores whose 
 picket line was being broken by scabs escorted by police.\n Within 24 
 hours, it involved over 100,000 workers and shut down nearly all commerce 
 in the East Bay for 54 hours. In 1946 there were six general strikes across 
 the U.S.; that year set the all-time record year for strikes and work 
 stoppages. The Oakland “Work Holiday” was the last general strike to 
 ever occur in the U.S.. This walk and history talk will attempt to keep 
 alive the memory of this tradition of community-wide working class 
 solidarity.\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jCKs-lhBgiM\nSee
