Smollett took advantage of racial tensions at a time when the US was already facing much division. He took advantage of the fellowship of his cultural community, which exists because of decades of legitimate injustice against them. Just some thoughts.
In the history of America's trade and labor unions, the most famous union remains the American Federation of Labor<span> (</span>AFL<span>), founded in 1886 by Samuel Gompers. At its pinnacle, the </span>AFL<span> had approximately 1.4 million members.
</span><span>Because the union did not attempt to organize unskilled workers, it made few gains among new workers during the 1920s, when much of the growth of the economy took place in mass-production industries such as automobiles, rubber, chemicals, and utilities.
Hope this helps! :)</span>
