Authors! with Kim Kelly

(Tu) June 21 at 6:30 p.m. | Main Library, McMaster Center
 
Kim Kelly is an independent journalist, author, and organizer based in Philadelphia, PA. Her new book, Fight Like Hell is a definitive history of the labor movement and the people who risked everything to win necessities like fair wages and access to employment, a safe workplace, disability, and discrimination protections, and the eight-hour workday. Kim Kelly’s publishing debut is both an inspiring read and a vital contribution to American history, offering a transportive look at the forgotten heroes who’ve sacrificed to make good on America’s promises.
