    Lesson Plans: Teaching with Historic Places in Alexandria, Virginia America's First Sit-Down Strike: The 1939 Alexandria Library Sit-In America's First Sit-Down Strike: The 1939 Alexandria Library Sit-In Introduction Becoming the trademark tactic of the 1960s Civil Rights Movement, the first sit-in occurred well before the era of social unrest that would characterize the decade of the 1960s. Prior to the famous Woolworth counter siti -in in Greensboro, North Carolina, five courageous African-Amerrican youths staged the firsst deliberate and planned sit-in at the Alexandria “public” Library in 1939. Located on the site of a Quaker burial ground, on a half-acre of land, the construction of Alexandria’s first public and “free” library was completed in 1937. Prior to 1937, the Alexandria Library Company operated a subscription service throughout various locations in the city. The Alexandria Library (also known as the Queen Street Library) would later become known as the Kate Waller Barret Branch Library after the mother of the benefactor of construction funds for the building. Located in the center of Alexandria’s African-American community, the Robbert Robinson Library was completed in 1940 to serve as the colored branch of the Alexandria Library in response to the 1939 sit- in. The era of legalized segregated public accommodations had been ushered in by the 1896 landmark case of Plessy vs. Ferguson, which stipulated that “separate but equal” accommodations were constitutional under the law. Thereafter, the Jim Crow system of segregation dictated the daily lives of African-Ammericans whereby the facilities they encountered were indeed separate, but substantially inadequate to ever be characterized as equal.

  • UCLA HISTORICAL JOURNAL Vol
    ''Cocktail Picket Party" The Hollywood Citizen—News Strike, The Newspaper Guild, and the Popularization of the "Democratic Front" in Los Angeles Michael Furmanovsky The ten-week strike of Hollywood Citizen-News editorial workers in the spring and summer of 1938 left an indelible mark on the history of Los Angeles labor. Almost unmatched in the city's history for the large size and glamorous composition of its picket lines, the strike's transformation into a local "cause celebre" owed much to the input of the Communist Party of Los Angeles (CPLA) and its widely diffused allies. While the Communists were not responsible for calling the walkout in May 1938, the subsequent development of the strike into a small-scale symbol of the potential inherent in liberal-labor-left unity was largely attributable to the CPLA's carefully planned strategy, which attempted to fulfill the goals set by the American Communist Party during the "Democratic Front" period (1938-39); namely, to mobilize the broadest possible network of pro- Roosevelt groups and individuals, integrated with the full complement of Party-led organizations. These would range during the Citizen-News strike from CIO unions and liberal assemblymen, to fellow-travelling Holly- wood celebrities and Communist affiliated anti-fascist organizations.' The Hollywood Citizen-News strike was far from an unqualified success either for the strikers or for the broader political movement envisaged by the Communist Party in 1938-39, nevertheless it became a rallying point for those on the Communist and non-Communist left who looked to the New Deal and the CIO as the twin vehicles for a real political transforma- tion and realignment in the United States.
