13. Henry Ford Hunger March and Massacre - Detroit 1932

As part of our labor series that stretches from Pittsburgh to Chicago through Cleveland, and Benton Harbor, I visited hallowed ground on the Fort Street Bridge and the Woodmere Cemetery in Detroit, Michigan to pay respect to the men and women who fought for our rights against the Ford Motor Company.

The brutality they faced enshrined this labor battle known as the Ford Hunger March and Massacre, which became a major catalyst for the unionization of the U.S. auto industry.
