Struggles in steel : the story of African-American steelworkers
This video documents for the first time the history of discrimination against black workers and their heroic struggle for equality on the job. It provides badly needed historical background to current angry debates on race and affirmative action. The film is the result of a unique collaboration between black steelworker Ray Henderson and his old high school buddy, noted independent filmmaker, Tony Buba. Together they interviewed more than 70 retired black steelworkers who tell heart-rending tales of struggles with the company, the union and white co-workers to break out of the black \"job ghetto\" of the most dangerous, dirty and low paid jobs.
