Immigrant protests are nothing new in America. Eighty years ago, in 1926, 16,000 wool workers in Passaic, New Jersey, went on strike when they meager wages were cut 10 percent. It was the first major strike by the Communist Party U.S.A. This the latest program written and produced by Marty Goldensohn and David S. Cohen. It features re-enactments by Broadway actors Phil Bosco and Alison Fraser and interviews with historians Jim Shenton of Columbia University, Dee Garrison of Rutgers, and Paul Buhle of Brown University. It is a coproduction of NJN Public Radio and the New Jersey Historical Commission. Photo credit: The Botto House/National Labor Museum.
