The Black workers went on strike because their rights were not recognized. They were assigned the dirtiest part of the job such as loading garbage onto trucks while their white colleagues worked as drivers and supervisors.  The strike was initiated when on February 1, 1968, Echol Chole and Robert Walker were crushed to death due to a faulty garbage truck

The death of the two men spurred the start of the protest where the "I am a Man" poster was used to convey the feeling that the African men were not treated properly and their rights as stipulated in the Declaration of Independence were not recognized.

Reverend James T. Lawson led the strike and Reverend Martin Luther King supported it. It was first held on February 13, 1968, in Memphis.
