- Description:
- In the second of two oral history interviews, Olga "Jo" Beltrame and her husband Ed Beltrame discuss their careers as union organizers for the United Packinghouse Workers Organizing Committee (later called the Amalgamated Meat Cutters Union). They talk about organizing the meat processing plants in Detroit, efforts to integrate the workforce at local restaurants, people thinking that childcare centers for workers were "socialist", organizing drives at packing plants in the South, the House Un-American Activities Committee, and management's exploitation of female workers. The Beltrames also talk about the efforts to organize Wolverine Worldwide in Michigan and the very difficult time they had. The couple says that they retired from organizing in 1974 and that unionism bettered their lives and the lives of millions of workers around the world. The Beltrames are interviewed by John Revitte, Michigan State University professor of Labor and Industrial Relations. The second of two interviews.

- Description:
- Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) addresses the body about about the retirement of Supreme Court Justice Anthony Kennedy and about President Trump's potential nominees to replace him. Schumer speculates on the impact a conservative Trump appointee may have on rolling back existing rulings on women's health, the Affordable Care Act, and marriage equality. Schumer reminds the audience about McConnell's purposeful actions to delay hearings on President Obama's nominee until after the 2016 election and says McConnell should similarly wait until the the new legislature is seated after the 2018 mid-term election.
