AFSCME President on the Need for a 'Strong Army' to Advance Economic Justice and Civil Rights

[sheshe2]

4. To focus on where we want to be...

That is it exactly, Jackie. This is what AFSCME is doing taking a slogan from 1968 I AM A MAN and making it I AM 2018. They are educating and asking people to take it back to their communities to spread the word. This is about moving forward. This message is for all of us and we must not dwell soley on what happened in Charlottesville, it needs to be fought tooth and nail yet we need to understand how we got here in the first place and move it forward for change.

Restorations...long overdue

This July, the City of Memphis made moves to compensate some of those workers from the 1968 strike who never received retirement benefits. They gave 14 of the surviving strikers $50,000 in tax free grants, and announced that improvements would be made for current employees. What are some issues we are still seeing today that are, in some ways, a legacy of 1968?
