Join us for a Labor Studies Book Talk with Cedric de Leon, professor of Sociology and Labor Studies at UMass Amherst, as he discusses his latest book, Freedom Train:Black Politics & the Story of Interracial Labor Solidarity.

Drawing on a rich history of Black-led organizing, de Leon offers a powerful account of how multiracial labor coalitions were built—and what lessons they offer today.
