Join us for a thought-provoking and enjoyable event featuring Dr. Danielle Phillips-Cunningham, where we take some time to think about the vital contributions of African Americans to labor movements and their enduring impact today. Dr. Phillips-Cunningham will present her newly published book, Nannie Helen Burroughs: A Tower of Strength in the Labor World. Her work highlights Burroughs as one of the most influential labor leaders of the twentieth century, showcasing the unprecedented Black women’s labor movement born from Burroughs's initiatives, including the National Training School for Women and Girls, domestic worker organizations, and her groundbreaking study on racial and gender disparities in labor.
