When I inaugurated the Emanuel Fried Center in June 2003 . . .

. . . there was practically nothing about radical
labor organizer, actor, playwright, and writer
Manny Fried on the web, and I concluded that a
major web presence was needed. Years before I had
attended Manny's plays and readings in our common
hometown of Buffalo, NY, and I wished to see
Manny's reputation extended beyond our local area
and selected radical and cultural circles to the
larger world. Manny agreed to this project and
provided me material for the web site.
I've just completed a survey of Manny's presence
on the web and the results can be found on my links page:
http://www.autodidactproject.org/other/mfried/links.html
As you can see, Manny has gained quite a bit of
attention in recent years and remains highly
active at the age of 95. Judging from this
material, one would conclude his considerable
reputation remains largely confined to Western
New York. Please do what you can to spread the word far and wide.
There is much autobiography in Manny's unique
labor-oriented work, but his one-man play
Boilermakers and Martinis, which premiered in the
Road Less Traveled Productions' 2007/08 season,
sums up his life experience. His performance is
now available on DVD. See my advert:
