- 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.

- Group of Kalamazoo college students dance in couples in room with Christmas tree on right and banner which reads, "We demand reinstatement," on back wall. "...Canadian-born Economics Professor Carey K. Ganong was to be dismissed for "inefficiency" and failure to become a naturalized U. S. citizen, as is President Cole, as word of the dismissal spread through the college, indignant students quickly rounded up the band, paraded around the campus, were addressed at a rally by Dr. Ganong, who declared the college officials had given him no opportunity to defend himself, by dawn the 350 students had decided to strike, when Dean Sherwood Gates arrived at Bowen Hall he was turned back by pickets who barred the door to students and professors, for two days no book was cracked, no lecture delivered, and Kalamazoo College was shut tight while campus soapboxers demanded popular Professor Ganong's reinstatement, at the second day's end President Cole withdrew the dismissal notice, promised to discuss the professor's future status with the student senate and leave the final decision to the board of trustees, thereupon Professor Ganong and students marched back to classes," from Time Magazine, Dec. 27, 1937.
