Throughout the history of the United States, beginning in the 1880s, there have been labor struggles, struggles against slavery, and struggles for a more equitable distribution of wealth. Professor Uris will briefly examine some of that history, including the formation of labor unions, idealistic and utopian movements for social justice, peace movements and efforts to bring a better share of the resources of this continent to all the people.
