Kensington: Industrial Struggle in Philly's Textile Mills

Kensington was once described as having "more textile mills within the range of vision than in any other city in the world," and likewise, was a hotbed of labor agitation for decades. In this presentation for the Philadelphia Liberation Center, we briefly covered the region's rich labor history, from the turn of the century to deindustrialization in the 1950s and 60s. 

Recorded live at the Philadelphia Liberation Center on June 21, 2025.
