Episode #201
ICYMI — My guest Friday was Jon Melrod, author of Fighting Times: Organizing on the Front Lines of the Class War. It’s the story of his 13-year journey from ‘60s student activist to Milwaukee labor organizer. Jon was one of hundreds of young student activists during the late ‘60s and early ‘70s who left the campus and went into the factories, fields, and mines to become revolutionary labor organizers.
Special thanks to Stephanie Manriquez for heroically agreeing at the last minute to produce the show when our regular producer, John Daley got stuck inside of Springfield with the Chicago blues again.
