description: This interview was conducted by Glenn Scott with Charlotte Graham and Latane Lambert on April 7, 1977 for the 1979 documentary Talkin Union. They discussed organizing into a union at a textile factory. They talked about the Dallas Garment Workers' Strike and their reasons for going on strike, as well as the factories’ response to the union. Charlotte mentioned living in California after the failed strike and attempting to organize various garment industries there into unions , before ultimately being offered her old job back and moving to Texas again. They concluded the interview by discussing the leadership in the International Ladies Garment Workers Union (ILGWU). This oral history reflects the attitudes, ideas, and norms of the time periods and cultures in which they were created.
