Print, Photographic

Print. Black and white copy of a photographic print depicting the 1941 United Auto Worker strike outside of the Ford Rouge Complex. The factory is on the left, the parking lot is on the right, and the road stretches along the center. In the foreground a car approaches carrying five workers, two of which hold signs. One sign reads, "The Union Ends our Days of Fear," and the other reads, "Ford," and "Hitler," with a swastika between. Behind the car a large group marches behind several flag bearers with UAW and United States flags. Spectators are gathered along the sidewalk. "6.86, 129811, 5/24/65 #20" handwritten on verso.
