Title

John Fitch Quote

Description

A quote from John Fitch talking about the conditions of how hot it was in areas of the steel mill. These conditions describe where Black Caribbean workers were put to work for low pay at DISCO, under the racial notion that they're more equipped to sustain the heat better than their other white immigrant workers at the same skill level as them or even less skilled.
