Kelly: History of labor movement has been 'buried' [View all]
Labor author Kim Kelly said the history of labor workers has purposely been diminished over time.
Kelly is the author of “Fight Like Hell: The Untold History of American Labor,” which examines the stories of factory workers, farm laborers, and domestic workers behind some of the most successful labor movements in United States history.
“Academics, historians, archivists, they’ve been digging up and preserving these stories for way longer than I’ve been alive, but It’s not always that accessible to just regular rank and file workers with no connection to academia who don’t necessarily know where to look to be able to find these stories,” Kelly said while appearing on Hill.TV’s “Rising.”
Kelly said that the history of the labor movement has been intentionally hidden by the “powers that be.”
