Since the early 1800s, there have been labor struggles, struggles against slavery and
struggles for a more equitable distribution of wealth in the United States. Uris will briefly
examine some of that history, including the formation of labor unions, idealistic and
utopian movements for social justice, peace movements and efforts to bring a better
share of the resources of this continent to all its people..
