Happy #LaborDay to the Black women, men, & children whose labor built this nation's prosperity.
"Black women have been essential leaders across social justice movements, and the labor movement is no exception." Black women like Rebecca @BeckyPringle, President @NEAToday fight for #EconomicProsperity today.

"Despite historical segregation Black women have led past and present struggles for economic justice."
Black Women Built That: Labor and Workers Rights.
