Kelley, Robin D.G.

The collection's interviews were conducted by Robin Kelley as research for his book Hammer and Hoe: Alabama Communists During the Great Depression . The book, which was published by the University of North Carolina Press in 1990, documents the activities of the Alabama Communist Party in the 1930s and the impact of race and other cultural identities on the movement.
