1. A unique study of civil rights struggle in the North in the 1940s 2. A long-hidden story not previously written about 3. A sympathetic story as jobs, housing, and economic stability become scarce 4. Ben Shahn, an artist of the Social Realism art movement important in the U.S. during the Great Depression, made a series of poignant drawings for Harper's Magazine to illustrate the 1947 Hickman murder trial. Currently on exhibition at the Smart Museum of Art at the University of Chicago, we aim to include Shahn's drawings in "People Wasn't Made to Burn."

Autorenporträt
Joe Allen worked for nearly a decade at UPS between its Watertown, Massachusetts and Chicago, Illinois Jefferson Street hubs. Starting out as a part-time loader he worked his way through a series of part-time sorting and driving jobs until his final year at UPS where he was a package car driver in Chicago's Loop. Allen's work life has largely revolved different sections of the freight and logistics including for such major employers as A.P.A Transport (Canton, Mass.), Yellow Freight (Maspeth, NY), and UPS. He has been a member of several Teamster local unions and a member of Teamsters for a Democratic Union. He campaigned for Ron Carey's reelection in 1996, and for Tom Leedham in the two following Teamster elections. Joe Allen lives in Chicago, IL.
