The Harry Bridges Project


  • About Us

    Our project is dedicated to introducing the public to the life and ideas of important figures from American history, particularly to Community College students, one of our most important audiences. These figures include Founding Father Thomas Paine and labor leader Harry Bridges, two men who had a profound impact on the growth and development of America, yet are largely unknown by the American public. Their life stories inspire people to come together in their communities, discover their own history and take charge of their own lives. By engaging in dialogue and debate about the issues raised in their stories we can move beyond the fears and limitations that they can create, whether it be racial discrimination, inequality or the pursuit of true democracy.
