Rivington Street

Description for RIVINGTON STREET by Meredith Tax:

RIVINGTON STREET is the story of the Jews who didn't move to the suburbs or strike it rich but who, in the words of Eugene V Debs, wanted to rise with their class, not from it---the ones who led the Bund's efforts at self-defense against the Russian Black Hundreds and who organized the garment unions on New York's Lower East Side. It is especially the story of four Jewish women.
