Part of Our Time: Some Ruins and Monuments of the… von Murray Kempton

I liked the essays on the Pullman Porters and the Detroit auto workers the best. Interesting to read, from today's perspective, an essay written in the 1950s, about Detroit in the 1930s. The essay on women in the socialist movement was about... love? Not so good. Skimmed through some of the less interesting chapters.
