Iowa union activists are amazing! It is such an honor to get to serve them as their historian. Come listen to some of these amazing folks talk about their recent struggles and victories tomorrow in Des Moines!
Speaking of Work: The Making of an Iowa Working Class exhibit opening and talk (by me) in Des Moines on June 11! Also, a panel of Young Labor Activists TBA!
So excited to see the great article on Iowa button workers by my colleague Janet Weaver, curator @IWArchives, in the latest issue of Labor!
