In this special 4th of July mini-episode of the TroopHR podcast, host Taylor Bradley shares an inspiring story of an unsung hero in the history of the American Workforce. Taylor recounts the courageous actions of James G. Thompson, who played a role in the development of the American workforce and laid groundwork for the civil rights movement.
The episode explores Thompson's experience as an African-American worker during World War II, highlighting the contradictions between fighting for freedom abroad while facing discrimination at home. Taylor details Thompson's powerful letter to the Pittsburgh Courier, which proposed the influential "Double V" campaign - calling for victory against fascism abroad and victory against racism at home.
