In today’s bonus edition, we introduce you to “Tales From the Reuther Library” (http://reuther.wayne.edu/podcasts), a great podcast series produced by our friends Dan Golodner and Troy Eller English at the Walter P. Reuther Library at Wayne State University in Detroit.
In an interview recorded back in November 2017, Dan talks to historian Dawn Mabalon about the life and legacy of labor leader Larry “Seven-Fingers” Itliong and the frequently overlooked -- but nonetheless crucial -- role played by Filipino farmworkers in the struggles of the 1960s.
