Description
A local Congress of Industrial Organizations meeting sometime in the 1940s. Note the presence of both white and black men. The CIO was an association of industrial unions that was established in 1935 by younger and disenchanted members of the American Federation of Labor. CIO leaders were more aggressive in their tactics than were those of the AFL. They welcomed into their ranks both workers from mass production industries and African American laborers.
