Poster is printed on white paper. Poster depicts a scene with men working in a ship yard. In the background is a large vessel. At the top of the poster is white text that reads: "I.W.W. Local 8". In the center of the poster is a box of white text that reads: "In 1913 thousands of Philadelphia longshoremen formed the nation's most pro- / gressive union. Local 8 welcomed African Americans, Irish Americans, Poles Lith- / uanians, West Indians and others. The dockers proudly belonged to the Industrial / Workers of the World (IWW), which is that rare institution that both advocates / and practices equality. Alas, such radicalism got Local 8 into trouble with employ- / ers and the government, which arrested its leaders, fimented racial tensions and / locked out the unionists. The legacy of Local 8, nevertheless, lives on.". At the bottom of the poster is blue text that reads: "Celebrate People's History".
