90th Anniversary of Ford Hunger March
|
Detroit, Michigan USA - 5 March 2022 - Union members commemorated the 90th anniversary of the 1932 Ford Hunger March. With Detroit's unemployment rate at 40% and half of Ford's workers laid off, 3,000 people marched to the Ford Rouge plant on March 7, 1932. After they crossed into Dearborn on the (since reconstructed) Fort Street Bridge (pictured), they were met by Dearborn police and Ford security guards, who fired tear gas and bullets, killing five workers.
