Labor Law Series: Changing the course of history the Honable Howard Jenkins, Jr.

The Video History Project's primary purpose is to create a repository of oral histories documenting significant employment law topics or events. By videotaping distinguished individuals who played a significant role or who had an opportunity to observe a milestone event, the project can protect the past and serve the future. Subjects include: WJ Usery (former Secretary of Labor); UW Clemon (the first African American Chief Judge, US District Court for the Northern District of Alabama); Theodore Kheel (one of New York's most influential public advocates); Willard Wirtz (former Secretary of Labor); George Nicolau (nationally recognized labor arbitrator); Max Zimny (former General Counsel, ILGWU and UNITE!); Paul Tobias (founder of the National Employment Lawyers Association); John Truesdale (former Executive Secretary and Chairman of the NLRB); Howard Jenkins (first African-American Member of the NLRB); Arvid Anderson (distinguished public sector arbitrator and Chair of the New York City Office of Collective Bargaining); Sam Pointer (former Chief Judge, US District Court for the Northern District of Alabama); Don Banta and Warren Sullivan (distinguished Management lawyers with over fifty years of experience); Betty Southard Murphy (the only person to have served as both Chairman of the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) and as Administrator, Wage and Hour Division); and Marvin Miller (former Executive Director of the Major League Baseball Players Association).
