'''Terrence Powderly''' was the American labor leader who headed the [[Knights of Labor]], a nationwide labor unions that included both skilled and unskilled, white and black workers. After winning a few major strikes and growing rapidly, the Knights weakened after 1886 and faded in the face of the much more effective [[American Federation of Labor]].
