The New York City Garment District is the site and heart of the catalyzing embers of the Labor Rights Movement. On the eve of this year’s September Fashion Week, we salute these fearless and righteous ladies who risked everything and paid a dear price to bring us the weekend, and this day of rest.
Hear, hear! Also, did you know the gals of the International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union (ILGWU) were proud of their racial and cultural diversity? In All Together Different, Daniel Katz explores the “Union of Many Cultures”—comprised of Jewish, Italian, Black, and Spanish workers—and the labor roots of multiculturalism.
