- Andrew Herod, professor of Geography at the University of Georgia, delivers a talk entitled, "Hammering against the reds: How that AFL-CIO fought communism in Latin America through urban planning." Herod talks about the relationship between the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations (AFL-CIO) and the U.S. government in Latin America throughout the 1960s and 1970s.

He answers questions from the audience. The event is convened by John P. Beck, Michigan State University professor of Human Resources and Labor Relations.
