On this day, 2 May 1968, 4,000 workers in the Hamtramck auto plant in Detroit walked out against speed up. Several black strikers met in a bar across the road, and founded the Dodge Revolutionary Union Movement to organise black workers. Two months later they organised their first wildcat strike. DRUM inspired similar groups at other plants which later came together to become the League of Revolutionary Black Workers.
