Description

The photograph is the front side of the photograph that depicts policemen intermingling in a large crowd of strikers and community members. The 1937 Ambridge strike occurred in mid-June 1937 as a part of the Little Steel strike that swept the United States from spring into summer 1937. The Little Steel strike began on Memorial Day, May 26, 1937, by the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) and its branch, the Steel Workers Organizing Committee (SWOC). The strike was against many steel companies, but primarily Republic Steel, Inland Steel, and Youngstown Sheet and Tube Company. The strike is remembered as one of the most violent of the 1930s but was successful in achieving the union’s goals.
