In this column published in The St. Louis American, Bayard Rustin calls for national support for 3,000 Mexican-American workers striking the Farah Manufacturing Company for the right to organize and form a union free from intimidation and discrimination. Rustin connects the workers’ struggle to the broader civil rights and labor movements, emphasizing the importance of interracial solidarity and arguing that their fight for economic dignity, fair treatment, and workplace rights was part of the same struggle for equality faced by Black Americans.
