	Julie Odegard, "Actors Equity Association"
		Looking at the Actor's Equity from its beginnings in the late 1800's there are many signs of a union that has raised its members from being on the lowest rungs of humanity to theatre employees who are occasionally considered to be heroes in the eyes of the world.
		The Actors Equity Association decided to try to join and ally themselves with the American Federation of Musicians, which was already a strong union under the American Federation of Labor.
		The theatre managers tried to promote the chorus members of their shows, who were not covered by Actors Equity, to play the leads in the plays, but those actors refused, and on August 12, 1919 the Chorus Equity Association was created.
