Join us for a talk by Doug Nelson about his research and writing on our local steel industry. Nelson is the author of When Steelworkers Defined Chicago, which is more than a chronology of strikes and contracts, it is also a gripping account of how ordinary men and women, immigrants, African Americans, and community activists, banded together to demand dignity, democratize their unions, and transform their country.
