Labor History Month All Year Round

By James Parks

ADVERTISEMENTS

The month may be nearly over but union leaders, students, teachers and activists are taking advantage of new resources to keep telling our story and building our future beyond May, which is officially Labor History Month.

The American Labor Studies Center, www.labor-studies.org, offers links to materials from the Library of Congress, the Smithsonian, the National Archives, the Labor Department, the AFL-CIO, top university labor programs and much more.

“Labor History Links,” a site developed by a Duke University labor historian, provides a comprehensive bibliography of information, documents and links to U.S. labor history sites. The interactive site also allows users to recommend links. Click here to visit the site. The website includes teachers’ lesson plans, information organized by date and topic, biographies and oral history, labor culture through films, songs, literature, art and photos, listings of state and local historical sites and much more.

The Labor Heritage Foundation offers a Labor History Time Line that includes important historical references to the labor movement’s actions, triumphs and challenges. Click here for more information.

Also don’t forget to check out the AFL-CIO labor history and culture site here for a list of resources in film, books and other materials that tell our story.
