Labor Day is a time to remind ourselves of the importance of solidarity — that progress comes when people recognize that we need each other and act together on that recognition.
One aim of today’s right-wing attacks on history is to stop young people from learning about the rich legacy of workers acting for justice. It’s no surprise that people of wealth and power are threatened by education that explores grassroots efforts to challenge exploitation.
The Zinn Education Project offers free lessons on labor history and campaigns for teachers’ right to teach.
Find examples below of free lessons and other resources about labor history — interracial solidarity, feminism, “organize the unorganized,” environmental justice and health & safety, immigration, workers’ rights — including “This Day in People’s History” stories. Teach Labor History
