Penn State Laureate David Witwer, Professor of History, will share his work on "Searching for Jimmy Hoffa: The Disappearance of America's Most Notorious Labor Leader and Why It Still Matters Today".
Witwer explores the history of a powerful labor leader with ties to organized crime whose disappearance in 1975 made him the most prominent presumed victim of a mob hit in American history. Hoffa's enduring popularity with his union members, despite his criminal convictions, provides a chance to consider the complex history of the working class, as well as the diverse perspectives Americans bring to the issue of corruption.
