MINE-MILL: MILITANT ADVOCATE FOR RACIAL EQUALITY AND JUSTICE (Continued)
I came up from the Deep South and spoke at great length on the struggle at this extremely enthusiastic and well attended civil rights rally, December 2 1963.
Open to the public, it was sponsored by the Arizona Mine-Mill Council and specifically organized by these Mine-Mill locals: Miami Miners Union Local 586; Ray-Sonora Copper Workers Local 915; Hayden Smeltermens Union (AS&R) Local 886; Hayden Kennecott Local 939; San Manuel Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers Local 937; and Superior Mine, Mill and Smelter Workers Local 938.
In addition, Mine-Mill people came from these locals: Copper Queen Miners Union Local 551, Bisbee; Morenci Miners Union Local 616; Banner Miners Union Local 929.
Union attendance was heavy and I spoke far into the night -- everything translated into Spanish -- as members came and went. Public attendance was good.
