In honor of the holiday, we encourage Charlestonians to spend an hour learning, or refreshing their memories, about the local grassroots activism with global implications that embodied the struggle of the Charleston 5, their fellow dockworkers, and all workers facing the combined forces of globalization, anti-unionism, and racism.
