SUMMARY:Ben Yomen: Labor Cartoons from the 1940s
DESCRIPTION:Cartoons as a weapon. Ben Yomen used cartoons to fight bosses he felt had no 
 respect for their laborers and to ridicule an American Congress he felt had no respect for 
 its constituents. Many of his cartoons that were published in the 1940s have such a 
 timeless message that they could have been published in 2011.In a 1943 Federated Press survey\, 
 Yoman was voted "most popular cartoonist in the labor press today" by AFL (American Federation of Labor)\, 
 CIO (Congress of Industrial Organizations) and Railroad Brotherhood editors.  His cartoons documented 
 the labor struggles of the day. This collection of Ben Yoman cartoons is part of the Joseph A. Labadie Collection
 in the U-M Special Collections Library. The Labadie Collection is the oldest research collection of 
 radical history in the United States\, documenting a wide variety of international social protest 
 movements of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. It is named for anarchist and labor organizer 
 Joseph Antoine Labadie (1850-1933).
