Labor Art Splash
Most buildings, museums, bridges, churches and other urban landmarks were
built entirely on the sweat and blood of the working class. These are the
men and women who gave their lives to the construction and creation of
great cities such as New York, the people who've done all the work and
received little of the credit.
The Labor Arts website is a work in progress, a 'virtual museum' dedicated
to honoring the cultural history and accomplishments of working
people. There are fascinating exhibits such as 'Unseen America', a
photography exhibit in which workers use their cameras to give us a closer
look into their working lives.
