== Early life ==
The son of a land-owning farmer, Oliver Harvey grew up in Franklinton, North Carolina, which was at the time dominated by the textile and tobacco industries.〔McConville, Ed (1978). "Oliver Harvey: Got to Take Some Risks," ''Southern Exposure,'' 6(2), 24.〕 When his father lost his land in 1933, Harvey moved to Durham, NC to find employment and worked a series of temporary jobs.〔 In 1936, he took a job at the American Tobacco Company, which was in the process of unionizing.〔 Refusing to join the union on account of its policy of segregation, Harvey was soon fired.〔 He subsequently worked as an assistant at Watts Hospital, and in 1943 began a job at the Krueger Bottling Company, which had been hiring African Americans because of the wartime labor shortage, and which had a segregated union.〔McConville, "Oliver Harvey," 25.〕 Harvey helped initiate a strike in favor of desegregation, garnering the support of the company’s white employees.〔
