Abstract
Description
This is an interview with Dorothy Crook, who was at the time of the interview the Director of AFSCME Local 1733, the Memphis chapter of the nationally known labor union. She began working with the Memphis chapter in 1969, the year after Dr. King was assassinated while aiding in the Memphis Sanitation Workers Strike. To this day, Ms. Crook continues for just and equitable treatment of working class citizens in Memphis.
