Bloodied but not broken

|
| On May 27, 1937, Ford Motor Co. security thugs attacked UAW organizers Walter
Reuther, J.J. Kennedy, Richard Frankensteen, Robert Kanter and members of the
women’s auxiliary to try and stop them from handing out leaflets at Ford’s
River Rouge (Mich.) plant gate. The newspaper photographs of the Battle of the Overpass, and of a bloody Reuther and Frankensteen afterward, helped turn public opinion against Ford. |
