Racial Unrest Rising in Rochester Over Kodak Fight
A new wave of racial tension grips Rochester centered on Eastman Kodak and the FIGHT group led by Minister Franklin Florence. Kodak resists定 due to hiring autonomy. FIGHT seeks training for 300 to 600 unemployed Black applicants over a year. The dispute, tying churches, civil rights groups, and stockholders, risks a hot summer as conflict sharpens.
