John L. Lewis (1880–1969) was one of the most powerful figures in 20th-century American labor history. As president of the UMWA from 1920 to 1960, he became a national figure due to his aggressive advocacy for miners' rights and his leadership in organizing industrial workers through the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO), which he helped establish. By 1946, Lewis was at the center of postwar labor unrest, leading massive coal strikes that challenged government authority and drew widespread public attention. Known for his fiery rhetoric and imposing presence, Lewis played a key role in shaping American labor policy during a pivotal era.
