Robert “Bob” Korstad has been surprised by the renewed interest from union leaders and workers in his 2003 book, "Civil Rights Unionism," which details tobacco worker organizing in Winston-Salem in the 1940s. His work even inspired a 32-song opera, "Love Songs from the Liberation Wars," and a short documentary film about the Winston-Salem sit-down strike.
