DESCRIPTION:Early Farm Labor Organizing, The 1935 Sebastopol Apple Pickers Strike, and 
 the ACLU’s Role\n\nPresentation and Discussion of Sol Nitzberg: Sponsored 
 by California Historical Society\n Join Barry Nitzberg, grandson of 
 tar-and-feathering victim Sol Nitzberg, and historian Ken Kann, for a 
 retrospective on early farm labor organizing and vigilante terror in Sonoma 
 County, California. Learn about the 1935 Sebastopol apple pickers strike, 
 the assault on Barry’s grandfather and other labor organizers, the local 
 community leaders who comprised the vigilantes, and the ACLU role in the 
 following trial. Barry and Ken review the impacts of the violence on Sonoma 
 County, its left-wing Jewish chicken ranching community, and the Nitzberg 
 family. Barry Nitzberg has deep roots in the historic Jewish chicken 
 ranching community of Petaluma, where he was born and raised. The grandson 
 of Sol Nitzberg— chicken rancher, labor organizer, and tar and feathering 
 victim—Barry and his family are featured in Ken Kann’s oral history of 
 three generations of this unique immigrant community. Ken is a historian 
 and author of Comrades and Chicken Ranchers; The Story of a California 
 Jewish Community.\n\nSee
