The Ford Hunger March, sometimes called the Ford Massacre, was a demonstration on March 7, 1932, in the United States by at least 3000 unemployed auto workers in Detroit, Michigan during the height of the Great Depression. The one-mile march started in Detroit and ended at the River Rouge complex in Dearborn, Michigan. Dearborn Police and the security guards employed by the Ford Motor Company shot and killed four workers with many others injured by gunfire. Five months later, a fifth worker died of his injuries.
The march was supported by the Unemployed Councils, a project of the Communist Party USA. It was followed by the Battle of the Overpass in 1937, and was an important part of a chain of events that resulted in the unionization of the Automotive industry in the United States.
