May Day
Staff-created list
May Day is also International Worker's Day, a day in which we honor laborers, labor movements, and the fight for workers’ rights. One way we are celebrating is sharing a selection of books that present stories of the American worker at different points in time and tell the history of the labor movements and their champions.
