Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. Uprising in Milltown: How a Small-Town Protest Transformed a CommunityBy James A. WhitfieldIn 1972, the quiet textile town of Milltown, North Carolina, erupted in a labor strike that would forever change its identity. What began as a protest against unfair wages and unsafe working conditions quickly evolved into a movement that challenged corporate power, racial and gender inequality, and local governance. Workers, housewives, students, and community leaders came together in an unprecedented fight for justice-one that reshaped their town for generations.Drawing from archival records, first-hand interviews, and never-before-seen documents, Uprising in Milltown brings this pivotal moment in American labor history to life. Through gripping storytelling and in-depth analysis, James A. Whitfield uncovers the human struggles behind the strike-families torn apart, friendships tested, and a town forced to choose sides.A riveting true story of resilience, solidarity, and the power of collective action.A deep dive into the role of women and minority workers, whose leadership and sacrifices fueled the movement.A lasting legacy-how this small-town protest influenced future labor movements and social justice activism.Perfect for history lovers, labor activists, and readers who appreciate stories of ordinary people fighting for extraordinary change, Uprising in Milltown is a testament to the power of standing together against oppression.
