Description

Hey folks! In this episode, I'll be discussing the Memphis Sanitation Workers Strike of 1968. This was a strike that at first advocated for the better conditions, equipment, and pay of African American sanitation workers but soon turned into something much bigger than the entire state of Tennessee.
