We greatly appreciate your contributions.
These donations make our work possible.
Contributions are tax-deductible.
Financial donations go directly to our work as we do not have a paid staff. The Director contributes her time, as do all interns. Associates, as well, donate their time and efforts on various projects. In the past, some of our projects have received funding grants (such as the satellite teleconferencing with the World Decade Conferences of Women). We are able to defray some of the costs of our publications through sales. We try to keep our ongoing expenses (phone, office supplies, printing and website) to a minimum. Contributions to WIFP are tax-deductible.

Excellent Book by WIFP Associate Dr. Michael Honey Available for WIFP Contribution of $75.00 or more (upon request):
Michael Honey, Going Down Jericho Road, The Memphis Strike, Martin Luther King's Last Campaign, (Hardcover)
As Cornell West, Princeton University, says of the book: "A magisterial treatment of this neglected period, Michael Honey is to be saluted!"
This account is a riveting, thorough, fascinating story that weaves history, politics, and social justice issues together seamlessly. It is the story of Memphis in 1968 when the civil rights struggle was focused on Dr. Martin Luther King and the sanitation workers who undertook a courageous strike due to dire conditions. It tells of those who worked hard to improve conditions and bring about justice, and those whose lives were affected. It is not the usual history of the top down. A refreshing account that seeks to bring hope and light to the events and conditions facing workers in Memphis, the over 500 pages keeps you pulled in. This is the way history should be told.
Michael Honey's earlier books include Black Workers Remember, An Oral History of Segregation, Unionism, and the Freedom Struggle, (University of California Press, 1999) and Southern Labor and Black Civil Rights, Organizing Memphis Workers, (University of Illinois Press, 1993).
Michael Honey is Professor of African-American, Ethnic and Labor Studies and American History at the University of Washington, Tacoma, Washington.
[In May 2008, Michael Honey received the Robert F. Kennedy Book Award for Going Down Jericho Road.]
Review of Going Down Jericho Road by Ellie Blalock, WIFP
WIFP Associate Michael Honey, a professor at the University of Washington, Tacoma, published a new book, Going Down Jericho Road: The Memphis Strike, Martin Luther King’s Last Campaign, recounting the 1968 sanitation worker riots in Memphis, Tennessee. Amid the “plantation mentality” that defined southern politics at the time, black workers were kept in poverty by white supervisors and trade brotherhoods that were able to force them into the lowest-paying positions, with few options for social mobility. Anger reached a crescendo on February 1, 1968, when two sanitation workers were killed by a trash compacter after seeking shelter inside of a truck during a downpour. This horrendous event, on top of years of meager pay and no benefits, led to a strike, beginning on February 12, of almost 1,300 workers. The strikers faced great obstacles, one of which was the inherent danger in arguing for workers’ rights and organized labor amid the anti-communist sentiment of the 1960s and 70s. The reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., working on his Poor People’s Campaign throughout the American south, adopted the Memphis conflict as his own, eventually giving his life for the cause, which would prove instrumental in turning the tide of white supremacy.
Honey’s work is extremely engaging, addressing the sequence of events while seamlessly incorporating the histories of key players in the struggle as well as the social and cultural environment of the time. Honey’s fluid prose will not disappoint those seeking an eloquently-written piece of non-fiction, but the book’s greatest strength is its ability to draw attention to the lesser-known actors who truly fueled the Memphis strike and who brought the cause into the national spotlight. Going Down Jericho Road is an important book for anyone who wishes to understand more fully the complexity of the civil rights movement and how it affected all levels of American society.
