JAMES R. GREEN

Yesterday, I cited Dr. Green's unparalleled (in my mind) coverage of the role of Black workers in the early US labor movement. We all owe him a lot.

I was emptying my office at University of Washington Tacoma as I retire, and I found various books and letters and articles by Jim. It made me remember a great historian and my pleasure that I called him a colleague and comrade. Here's to you, Jim.

I am in Boston at the Radcliff Institute and I have been thinking about Jim most of the time. I have rarely been to Boston, and I would so love to see him here. Saludos, Jim

Jim Green had a powerful impact on my life. His book, Grassroots Socialism about radical movements of farmers and workers in Oklahoma and Texas inspired me to believe in the possibility of crafting a uniquely American socialism. A belief that the Bernie Sanders campaign helped

Jim Green was President of the Labor and Working-Class History Association and did a huge amount to add labor to public history. One example was restoring a monument to the martyrs who died during the Ludlow, Colorado, coal strike in 1913, shot down by the hired hands of John D. Rockefeller. Another, the Haymarket Martrys of 1886. Another, the cause of the miners who fought for human rights at the end of WW I. He took hidden histories and put them back in plain sight, where they belonged.
