History of, by, and for Working Class Movements

What does a history, not just of but by and for the working class look like? Activists, educators, and organizers reflect on how engaging with history has impacted their own personal political development; how history may be leveraged towards emancipatory ends (or not) in professional non-profit or formal educational settings; and history-related traditions and innovations in volunteer/member-led organizing collectives.
