    The black experience in Pittsburgh By Wil Haygood, Washington Post
    WPA project chronicled African-American's local history from Colonial times through the 1930s

    'The steel strike of 1919 was the first major strike in which Negroes were involved in large numbers. About 800 were employed in the West Homestead district. Of these, only 8 joined the union and struck. At Duquesne 344 were employed. Here none struck. At Clairton out of 300 employed, 10 joined the union and struck for six weeks, then decided to return to work. At Braddock 600 Negro employees neither joined the union nor struck. Constantly Negroes were transported from plant to plant to defeat the strike.'
