A new war in Dixie: Communists and the unemployed in Birmingham, Alabama, 1930–1933

Pages 367-384 | Published online: 28 Feb 2007
 

Abstract

Conditions were so bad that many people believed that the only way they could ever get better was to start a new war. As I read the handbill I very naively was under the impression that the Unemployed Council was calling all Negro and white workers to a new war.

You up against the wall and no way you can go but come out forwards. You had to come out in the struggle. But was a whole lot of people was afraid.
