Assessment[edit]

I argue for a Mid-Level importance rating for several reasons. First, the labor education movement was an extremely important aspect of the American Federation of Labor's (AFL) activities in the early part of the 1900s. Second, Brookwood Labor College was the foremost labor college in this movement. Third, the battle over Brookwood led the collapse of the labor education movement as a formal activity within the AFL, and is arguably the turning point which marked the beginning of the "conservative" take-over of the AFL under President William Green. Fourth, Brookwood numbered among its students some of the most influential radical labor leaders to emerge over the next quarter century. Fifth, Brookwood served as a model for radical labor education in the U.S., and was mimicked by many labor education centers (such as the Highlander Research and Education Center.

With the upgrade, this is a class B at least. - Tim1965 (talk) 03:35, 14 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Date of founding[edit]

The Brookwood School, a private secondary school, was founded in 1919. But the labor college was not founded until 1921. This article mentions the school, but is about the labor college. Thus, the date of founding should be 1921. - Tim1965 (talk) 14:07, 19 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
