Progam Description
Clarence Darrow's: Unions and Justice is exhilarating, relevant, inspirational, and educational. This is Clarence Darrow at war and
as warrior, returning to engage governments and justice systems in a presentation that trembles with inescapable timeliness.
As we continue touring the United States, and shortly, other countries as well, our presentation will continue to educate not only
Union audiences, but the general public as to the benefits of fair and just representation, the history of unions, and their struggles
on behalf of all citizens regardless of race, gender or creed.
We have presented our program, Clarence Darrow's Unions and Justice at six IBEW Progress Meetings across the country.
Recently we have begun working with the union leadership of the AFL-CIO. In 2008 we presented to Wisconsin. In 2009 we will
be bringing our program to Kentucky as well as a three-city tour in South Carolina.
This is the man behind the legend, not always the hero and not always at his best, with serious legal problems of his own that
scarred and haunted him forever.
This is not a dry lecture but a full dramatic re-creation as Clarence Darrow that becomes history alive. The attendees become the
jury in every case discussed. The show is interactive as Mr. Darrow moves in and out of the audience asking questions which
provokes introspection.
