The Memphis Sanitation Workers Strike of 1968 played an important role in bringing national attention to the plight of underpaid Black Americans.

Protesters marched wearing “I Am A Man” sandwich boards, demanding that they be treated with dignity. The signs became a rallying cry for the strikers. #IAmAMan #FreedomForward #BetterJobsHigherWages
