EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a significant moment in Brooklyn's history - the electrical workers strike of 1941. Taken by renowned photographer Al Ravenna, the image showcases a group of determined men picketing outside the Brooklyn Navy Yard. The scene is set against an urban backdrop, with an old streetcar passing by and a gas station visible in the distance. The men stand united, holding signs that demand fair treatment and better working conditions. Their faces reflect both determination and frustration as they fight for their rights. The photo provides a glimpse into the social unrest that plagued America during this time period. It serves as a reminder of the struggles faced by workers in their pursuit of justice and equality.
