    I'm James Riddle Hoffa, born on February 14, 1913. I dedicated my life to fighting for the rights of the working people as the president of the International Brotherhood of Teamsters from 1957 to 1971. I made history with the first national agreement for teamsters' rates in 1964 and grew the union to over 2.3 million members. Despite the challenges and controversies, I always stood by the working class.
