FORD TURNS 100: '41 strike divided workers, a family Horace Lindsey Sheffield Sr. holed up with about 1,000 men, most of them African Americans, in the massive Ford Rouge complex, wondering when they would get out of there.

But the men were sharpening knives and other metal objects, waiting to clash with the union men outside.
