- Description:
- Large group of women, members of the Mothers of the U.S.A. stand in front of banner (which reads, "Mothers of the U.S.A., Michigan Division, Keep the embargo"), hanging from bus. "A city that possessed great potential for the women's isolationist movement was Detroit, a tinderbox of dissension that rhetoric could set ablaze, [Charles] Coughlin and [Gerald L.K.] Smith made their headquarters there and in 1943 the city experienced the worst race riot of the war era, the dominant mother's group in Detroit was the Mothers of the U.S.A., organized in 1939, Mary A Decker founded the organization after women wrote in response to her letter to the Detroit Free Press, in which she advocated that mothers join to avoid American involvement in a foreign war, membership was open to any woman who was a United States citizen, although those who joined were mainly mothers, wives and sisters of men who fought in World War I ... Decker's group would claim several thousand members in Detroit and attract an Avenuerage of three hundred women to its weekly meetings ... the first campaign of the Mothers of the U.S.A. was a fruitless effort to retain the embargo on weapons sales to belligerents, provided for in the Neutrality Act of 1939," from Women of the Far Right: The Mothers' Movement and World War II by Glen Jeansonne.

- Description:
- Striking MESA (Mechanics Educational Society of America) workers stand inside glass door to the Nash-Kelvinator plant in Detroit, Michigan, as three women stand outside looking at them. "The strike was typical of the middle-level sit-downs that occurred during the next eight weeks, the two thousand workers in the plants were already organized, the strike began when the company failed to act on grievances arising from "misunderstandings" at the Plymouth Road and Fort Street facilities, the union immediately added wage demands, on February 9, while great events were in the offing at the Statler, MESA picketers captured the office building as well, saying that the company harbored strike breakers in the office," from Maurice Sugar: Law, Labor, and the Left in Detroit 1912-1950, by Christopher H. Johnson.

- Description:
- Women dance together outside General Motors plant 1, during the Flint sit-down strike. "The Flint sit-down strike began the evening of Dec. 30, 1936, when the night shift stopped the loading of dies being shipped by the company to places where unionism was weaker, the union had noticed that the sit-down method of protest, which had started in Europe, seemed to work successfully, so the workers sat down and locked themselves in, trying to protect their jobs from being removed ... the union called for supporters to gather at Cadillac Square in Detroit as a show of strength, the overflowing crowd of 150,000 supporters surprised even the union sympathizers and gave the union the self-confidence they needed to show its power and solidarity over its management "oppressors," other union workers joined in sympathy strikes, closing plants in other states ... the dramatic military style battles depict the times and the desperation of those involved, the outcome much later in time proved that both the union and the company could coexist and indeed prosper beyond anyone's expectations, those who made the cars could finally afford to buy them, pouring profits back to the stockholders, spreading the wealth caused more to be created, the pension and wages won by the workers raised the standard of living for the whole country," from The historic 1936-37 Flint auto plant strikes, by Vivian M. Baulch and Patricia Zacharias / The Detroit News.
