A propos de cet article

Hardcover. When I went to work for Lockheed-Georgia Company in September of 1952 I had no idea that this would end up being my lifes work. With these words, Harry Hudson, the first African American supervisor at Lockheed Aircrafts Georgia facility, begins his account of a thirty-six-year career that spanned the postwar civil rights movement and the Cold War.Hudson was not a civil rights activist, yet he knew he was helping to break down racial barriers that had long confined African Americans to lower-skilled, nonsupervisory jobs. His previously unpublished memoir is an inside account of both the racial integration of corporate America and the struggles common to anyone climbing the postwar corporate ladder. At Lockheed-Georgia, Hudson went on to become the first black supervisor to manage an integrated crew and then the first black purchasing agent. There were other firsts along the path to these achievements, and Working for Equality is rich in details of Hudsons work on the assembly line and in the back office. In both circumstances, he contended with being not only a black man but a light-skinned black man as he dealt with production goals, personnel disputes, and other workday challenges.Randall Pattons introduction places Hudsons story within the broader struggle of workplace desegregation in America. Although Hudson is frank about his experiences in a predominantly white workforce, Patton notes that he remained an organization man who expressed pride in his contributions to Lockheed [and] the nations defense effort. Harry Hudson, the first African American supervisor at Lockheed Aircrafts Georgia facility, recalls his thirty-six-year career that spanned the postwar civil rights movement and the Cold War. While not a civil rights activist, he knew he was helping to break down racial barriers that had long confined African Americans to lower-skilled jobs.
