Happy Labor Day! Did you know that Labor Day evolved from an 1882
celebration and parade in honor of the working class by the Knights of
Labor in New York and was declared a national holiday in 1894? What
better way to celebrate this historic day than to take a tour through
unseen America in which workers raise their cameras to give us an
intimate look at their lives. As the introduction states, "Labor Arts
is a virtual museum; we gather, identify and display images of the
cultural artifacts of working people and their organizations. Our
mission is to present powerful images that help us understand the past
and present lives of working people." Take a few minutes to check out
the entire site while you leisurely enjoy Labor Day!
