DESCRIPTION:Labor History: The Longshoremen’s And General Strikes Of 1934\nWith Park 
 Ranger Peter Kasin\nSan Francisco Maritime National Historical Park 
 observes the 85th anniversary of “Bloody Thursday,” when three 
 waterfront workers on strike were shot, with two of them killed, Nicholas 
 Bordoise and Howard Sperry, on Thursday, July 5, 1934, during riots that 
 broke out when city officials tried to open the SF port by force. Join Park 
 Ranger Peter Kasin in the Visitor Center for a talk on what was the largest 
 strike in West Coast history, and on its famed strike leader Harry Bridges. 
 Photographic panels and books on the strike will be displayed. You are 
 invited to ask questions, comment on the strike and on the role of labor 
 unions and strikes today.  \n\nLaborfest began in 1993 to commemorate the 
 1934 general strike that made San Francisco a union town, and together with 
 the 1934 General Strikes in Minneapolis and Toledo, made possible in 1935, 
 the passage of the Social Security and Unemployment Insurance Act, and the 
 legalizing of the right to organize labor unions with the Wagner Act. See
