The struggle to integrate the skilled and construction trades and the unions that represent them, and to ensure that they reflect America’s population, is deeply intertwined with the story of America itself; the story of theof slavery and the legacy of institutional racism that followed and of the hard work by Americans of color and their allies to force our nation to live up to its own ideals.
This series will explore the roots of discrimination that led to the summer of ’63 protests in Brooklyn and many others like it around the nation and how activists, community, and union members worked over decades to force change. It will also explore how high schools and apprenticeship programs are, in the 21st century, helping to ensure that everyone who wants one has an opportunity to access jobs that are often called the “ladder to the middle class.
Before emancipation, enslaved Blacks were often trained in skilled construction, especially in the South, according to historianA. Philip Randolph, one of the chairmen for the March On Washington demonstration in Washington D.C., stands in front of the statue of Lincoln at the Lincoln Memorial following the two-pronged parade through the streets of the capital, Aug. 28, 1963.
“After the Civil War, African Americans continued to be pretty important in the skilled construction industry in the South until the late 19th century, [when] there was a concerted effort by white workers to drive Black workers out of the skilled trades and unions often included racial bars on membership. And that persisted into the 1960s,” Jones said in an interview.
