On the Global Waterfront: The Fight to Free the Charleston 5, the definitive story of South Carolina longshoremen who fought racial and economic injustice with a worldwide campaign to end the prosecution of men guilty only of protecting their way of life, is scheduled for release in January, 2008..
This story is more than what happened that January night in 2000 when 660 riot police faced off against 150 longshoremen. It's more than the 2-year prosecution that could have wiped out the last well-funded, organized group of black workers in South Carolina. It is the story of the beginnings of the Bush Era. It exposes the roots of neoconservativism and the new, more insidious religious right but it also shows the path to demanding more and better from global capital.
