5-14-16 Fighting for BEER!!!! in 2:00
http://laborhistoryin2.podbean.com/e/may-14-fighting-for-beer/
May 14, 2016
Do you ever enjoy a cold beer after a long day’s work? Well if you were worker in the United States from 1920 to 1923, you would have to break the law to down a brew. On this day in Labor History the year was 1932. That was the day that massive demonstrations for the re-legalization of beer were held in New York City and Detroit. Prohibition had lasted for more than a decade.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
