Chronological Files, 1872-2007, undated
Content Description
Research files assembled by Cherny while researching and writing Harry Bridges: Labor Radical, Labor Legend (2023). Interfiled reproductions of newspaper clippings, correspondence, union meeting minutes, government and union reports, and case files document the full sweep of Bridges’s life as a labor leader. Some files include materials from historian Stanley Kutler's personal research files about Bridges' deportation cases. Some files also include Cherny’s research notes. Also documented are efforts by ILWU and others to commemorate Bridges, as well as the 1934 strike.
