William Green shares new history recounting 1970 Minneapolis teachers strike

SAINT PAUL — The East Side Freedom Library will host a Zoom discussion with William Green, author of “Strike! Twenty Days in 1970 When Minneapolis Teachers Broke the Law” (University of Minnesota Press, 2022, 224 pages).

The free event will be Thursday, March 23, beginning at 7:00 p.m.

The historic 1970 strike helped lead to Minnesota’s Public Employees Labor Relations Act, protecting collective bargaining rights.

Green is professor of history at Augsburg University and, from 2006-2010, served as superintendent of the Minneapolis Public Schools.
