She is the author of American Gandhi: A. J. Muste and the History of Radicalism in the 20th Century (2014), and has suggested attendees read pages 75-96 (beginning at the section break on page 75) in preparation for the talk. A copy can be found here. In this selection from Danielson’s biography of A.J. Muste, she examines how and why he and other labor progressives turned to workers’ education in the aftermath of the first Red Scare. It begins just after Muste has been elected General Secretary of the Amalgamated Textile Workers of America (ATWA) following his successful leadership of the Lawrence Textile Strike of 1919.  Sidney Hillman’s Amalgamated Clothing Workers (ACW) had lent support to the strike and to the fledgling union.
