The phrase “I am a man” was used by Memphis sanitation workers and their supporters during their famous strike led by Martin Luther King, Jr. in April 1968. The phrase echoes a nineteenth-century abolitionist poster, which asked, “Am I not a Man and a Brother?” Most of the sanitation workers/strikers involved were African Americans who demanded suitable compensation and union recognition.
