Uprising of '34
Uprising
of '34 tells the story of the General Strike of 1934,
a massive but little-known strike by hundreds of thousands of
southern textile workers. After three weeks the strike was stopped
and the strikers were denied jobs. Sixty years later this strike
is virtually unknown, and union representation in the South still
suspect.
