Walter Reuther: Address before the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People

( 1957 ) Commentary by Karen Linkletter, California State University, Fullerton
  • “When the people of Detroit were rioting and destroying and killing each other on the streets, white and Negro workers worked side by side in brotherhood in the plants under our contracts. Because they had learned to know the meaning of human solidarity, of brotherhood, because they had learned through the hard experience of struggle that when the employer can divide you and pit white against black, American-born against foreign-born, he can divide and rule and exploit everyone.” - Address before the Annual Convention of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People
