SUMMARY:Oakland 1946 General Strike Walk
DESCRIPTION:Oakland 1946 General Strike Walk – “We Called It a Work Holiday”\nWith Gifford Hartman of the Flying Picket Historical Society.\nThis year is the 70th anniversary of the Oakland General Strike. This walk will revisit the sites of Oakland’s “Work Holiday” that began spontaneously with rank-and-file solidarity with the striking – mostly women – retail clerks at Kahn’s and Hastings department stores whose picket line was being broken by scabs escorted by police.\nWithin 24 hours\, it involved over 100\,000 workers and shut down nearly all commerce in the East Bay for 54 hours. In 1946 there were six general strikes across the U.S.; that year set the all-time record year for strikes and work stoppages. The Oakland “Work Holiday” was the last general strike to ever occur in the U.S. This walk and history talk will attempt to keep alive the memory of this tradition of community-wide working class solidarity.\n\nMeet at the fountain in Latham Square\, in the intersection where Telegraph and Broadway converge across from the Rotunda Building (Oakland City Center/12th St. BART). \n \n

SUMMARY:Paul Robeson: A Portrait in Story & Song
DESCRIPTION:By The Rockin’ Solidarity Labor Chorus\nThe Rockin’ Solidarity Labor Chorus presents a musical biography of Paul Robeson\, the great African American artist\, athlete\, and activist.\nThe script is based on material gathered from primary sources by Alex Bagwell\, a Chorus member and ILWU retiree\, who interviewed many of Robeson’s associates while they were still alive.\nRobeson crossed paths with notable figures of his era\, including W.E.B. DuBois\, Lena Horne\, and Harry Belafonte\, but he also touched the lives of countless working men and women. He said\, “I have always put my faith and confidence in the working people in all countries and of all colors. I truly believe that they constitute the greatest force in the world for the advancement of all people.”\nThe concert will trace Robeson’s journey from his youth in New Jersey to Rutgers University and then to Broadway\, concert stages\, and picket lines around the world. It also addresses Robeson’s encounter with the House Un-American Activities Committee and the notorious Peekskill concert in 1949\, at which racist thugs attacked the audience and the performers.\nWith solos by Bagwell and others\, the Chorus will sing many of the spirituals and folk songs from Robeson’s repertoire\, in new arrangements by Chorus director Pat Wynne.\nContact: Pat Wynne (415) 648-34577
