 * Cold War era anti-Communist witch-hunts.

It is biased towards the idea that anti-Communism was nothing more than a witch hunt: Better to say that some historians viewed the Cold War in terms of selfish or corrupt demagogues unfairly stigmatizing innocent political activists. --Uncle Ed 16:05, 29 Sep 2004 (UTC) I removed, if only on the general grounds of NPOV, "Through his sense of fair play, advocacy of rank-and-file voting, personal incorruptibility, and international outlook, the ILWU became one of the most successful American unions today." How can that remotely be considered NPOV? My university offers a course on San Francisco, which I've sometimes taught. I'm well aware Harry Bridges is still a potent and beloved figure here in SF. But if his advocates want the General Reader to take this page at all seriously, they have to not make it look like a an old-time mimeo flier pasted on the student union. Be judicious, folks. Oct 06
 * a campaign against a fictious enemy; or,
 * a campaign against people who are falsely portrayed as having evil powers or motives

Harry Bridges in multimedia
There's a segment of the series "Wizards of Money" (Part 17 I think. Available a number of places online in mp3 format) which deals at length with Harry Bridges and the ILWU. It has some audio clip material of him speaking.

I recommend the entire series too.

Monument to Harry
As the chair of the committee in charge of the Monument to Harry, and the naming of the Plaza, I made a few changes. I explained them in full but forgot to hit "save" and now I got to run. Suffice for the moment that the Lincoln Vets are not involved.

"Song for Bridges"
I've added a note on this song from the Almanac Singers to the Trivia section. Richard Lugg (talk) 09:01, 25 January 2009 (UTC)

Meaningless sentences.
Towards the end of this entry, there are a couple of sentences that do not make sense. I'm hesitant to edit them myself, as I might change their content. Could someone who has been involved in this page read it over again and clean up the garbled sentences? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 103.224.118.199 (talk) 14:10, 15 March 2015 (UTC)
