Black History is Teamster History

The numerous contributions of black members to the success of the Teamsters Union are varied and as old as the union
itself. Black team drivers attended the first Convention in 1903 and were active in all aspects of the union,
including leadership, from the beginning. That commitment remains strong today.



Scores of Teamsters members were among the more than 200,000 people who participated in the historic march on Washington
in 1963. Buses carrying Teamsters arrived from near and far, some driving through the night to join the activities on
time. Locals 810 and 239 of New York, Local 875 of Flushing, New York, Local 20 of Toledo, Local 688 of St. Louis and
Local 743 of Chicago were all noted in particular for outstanding participation.

I don't know how to reduce the size. Sorry.
