Excellent Book about Black Unionism

I had to read this book for my history class (my Professor is Ernest Obadele-Starks!) This book gives all the inside scoop about why and how unions were formed, how the FECP help minorities, and some of the flaws of the FECP. I think it's a good book to read to learn more about unions and racism during the mid 1900's. I think Dr. Starks is an excellent professor and this book tells a lot about his knowledge in the subject.
