Barbara Wertheimer Prize
Each year the New York Labor History Association awards the Barbara Wertheimer Prize for the best research paper in labor history written by an undergraduate during the previous academic year. The winners of the 2006 prize are: Kevin C. Brown, "Defining 'Amicable Relations:' Class Formation, Conflict, and Political Economy in 1870s Pittsburgh," and Michael Murphy, "Anthrax Strike: The 1976 Outbreak of Labor Militancy in the Panama Canal Zone." Kevin's essay was his honors thesis at Bucknell University written under the direction of Professor John Enyeart.
