I worked side-by-side with many "Negros" (that's what they called themselves) back in the early 60's. In J&L Steel mill, Hazelwood, PA. (Yes, I was a union guy back then).

In my opinion, the blacks were happy, always kidding around.

They made the same pay as the whites did.

They were family men, hard workers, good workers.

I noticed NO chips on their shoulders like you see today.

Small world! Wow, another Pennsylvania union guy here on Free Republic. I think you'll appreciate my recollections of busting a union up there. I still remember the thrill of leaving the Federal Building on Grant Street after the successful decertification vote. Busting a union in -- of all places -- Pennsylvania is still one of the high points of my 70+ years.
