- Description:
- Large group of Detroit Public School teachers, some carrying picket signs, walk in front of the Maccabees Building on Putnam in Detroit, Michigan. "Defying a “back-to-work” order by the Wayne County Circuit Court, enormous fines, and pressure from the media, Detroit School Board, and parents, nearly 5,000 DFT teachers and their supporters staged a massive picket outside the School Center Building during one of the longest and most bitter strikes in the school system’s history. Increased pay, accountability, and class sizes were the issues that dragged the strike out to 43 days, causing the Detroit Public Schools to close for over a month," from The Faces of Detroit, Walter Reuther Library website.

- Group of primarily women and children stand in front of a restaurant in Hamtramck, Michigan, with banners and picket signs, some reading, "Join the fight for a 20% reduction in meat prices" and "Strike, 20% reduction in meat prices." "On July 27, 1935, Polish and Black housewives began to picket Hamtramck butcher shops, carrying signs demanding a 20 percent price cut throughout the city and an end to price gouging in Black neighborhoods, when men, taunted by onlookers who accused them of being "scared by a few women," attempted to cross the lines, they were "seized by the pickets...their faces slapped, their hair pulled and their packages confiscated...a few were knocked down and trampled," that night Hamtramck butchers reported unhappily that the boycott had been 95 percent effective," from U.S. Women in Struggle: A Feminist Studies Anthology,
by Claire Goldberg Moses and Heidi I. Hartmann.
