Join Dr. Cedric De Leon as he discusses how the elusive promise of interracial solidarity poses an age-old question that is even more urgent now in the current political climate:
Can Black and White workers stick together against their bosses? Can their solidarity scale up to a multiracial working class movement powerful enough to defy capital?
Dr. Cedric De Leon is a professor of Sociology & Labor Studies at the University of Massachusetts Amherst.
