Merging the singer's political convictions with the commercial success of the previous year's Judith, political statements like the title song, originally a poem by James Oppenheim commonly associated with a 1912 garment workers strike in Lawrence, Massachusetts, were balanced with such pop compositions as Elton John's "Come Down in Time".
Released as the single from the album was "Special Delivery" by Billy Mernit. Luther Vandross sang background on this album, one of his earliest commercially recorded vocal performances.
