Two are drawn from the Great Depression: the movement of the unemployed that gave rise to the Workers' Alliance of America, and the movement of industrial workers that produced the CIO. And two are drawn from the postwar period: the Southern Civil Rights movement, and the movement of welfare recipients that generated the National Welfare Rights Organization.
