Sit-Downers
Memorial Park was built by the United Auto Workers to honor those who
took part in the 1937 strike against General Motors. It marked a new
approach, a "sit-down" strike. It lasted 44 days.
Against the outside wall of the factory, a
woman is dragged away by a policeman, another woman is about to swing a
baseball bat to smash out a factory window.
