Cohen described the transitional period of maintaining ethnic identity in the 1920s to eliminating racial and ethnic divisions to become a “culture of unity” in politics under the new Democratic Party and the uniting of workers in the national Congress of Industrial Organization (CIO) union in the 1930s.
