Temple University Press and Libraries present Dr. William P. Jones on "Remembering Philip S. Foner and The Black Worker."

The 400th anniversary of the arrival of enslaved Africans in British North
America is an appropriate moment to revisit Philip S. Foner, Ronald L.
Lewis, and Robert Cvornyek’s magisterial, The Black Worker: From Colonial
Times to the Present. First published in the 1970s and 1980s, the 8-volume
documentary collection proved essential to a broader recognition of the
central role that working-class African Americans have played in the
economic, social, and political history of the United States. It has now been
reissued in a freely available online format by Temple University Press.

Drawing on their documents, and the decades of scholarship the collection
inspired, join us as Professor William P. Jones discusses the relevance of
The Black Worker today. The collection is even more relevant in the 21st
century, Jones suggests, as the American working-class has grown more
racially diverse and as the relationship between race and class continues to
shape American politics.

William P. Jones is Professor of History at the University of Minnesota
and Vice President of the Labor and Working-Class History Association.
He is the author of two award-winning books, including The March on
Washington: Jobs, Freedom, and The Forgotten History of Civil Rights. He
has been a guest on the PBS NewsHour, NPR’s The Takeaway, and C-Span’s
Book TV and has written for The New York Times, The Washington Post,
Politico, The Nation and other publications.

This event has been made possible in part by the National Endowment for
the Humanities: Exploring the human endeavor.

Registration requested.
