Biographical History
The California Labor School was originally founded as the Tom Mooney School in June of 1942. Its purpose was to train the huge influx of new workers into a wartime economy in trades and in various aspects of labor relations ranging from dues to union representation. The school was immensely successful and attracted talented and dedicated faculty, including George Hitchcock. The school's mission was to foster a unique "worker's culture" by passing on not only trade union methods and Marxist ideology, but also fine art, dance, and music. The school closed in the late 1950s.
Scope and Contents of the Collection
The California Labor School Collection consists of a program for a 1950 performance by the chorus of "Trial by Jury" and several course bulletins.
