Antoine Dangerfield, 30, captured the moment dozens of his Mexican co-workers stormed off the shop floor last week after suffering racist harassment and bullying at the hands of a white supervisor. Video of the impromptu strike went viral as Dangerfield wowed social media viewers with his enthusiastic, yet biting, commentary on what was going down. [snip]

In an interview with the magazine, Dangerfield detailed what was going on at the site and, more specifically, what led to Wednesday’s walkout. The 30-year-old welder explained that several contractors were working to build a UPS superhub in Indianapolis. However, Latino workers had taken issue with a white safety coordinator who would regularly pick on them and harass them on the job. [snip]

“He was walking around just sending them home, trying to fire them. So he sent like five or six of them home,” Dangerfield told the magazine. “So the Hispanics got together and were like, ‘Nah. We got families and kids. We are not about to let these dudes just do whatever.’ So they took a stand.”

Dangerfield said seeing the workers’ come together in solidarity touched his heart.

“I just felt that power, man,” he added. “They were walking out with their heads up, strong. It touched me. That’s why I was like, wow, this is beautiful. It was beautiful that they came together like that — stood up for themselves and not let that dude walk all over them.”
