Black Labor Week brings together trade unionists and community activists to celebrate the historical bonds between the labor movement and underserved communities.
This week-long event connects activists and the community through various activities that address specific needs -- retirees, veterans, seniors, homeless men, women and children, and more. It also educates the community and shows the contributions of Black leaders to the labor movement and the Black community that are often unheard of and/or overlooked.
