SUMMARY:Art Exhibit: "On Immigration and Labor'
DESCRIPTION:American Labor Museum83 Norwood StreetHaledon\, New Jersey 07508 \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nOn Immigration and Labor features original contemporary mixed technique artworks by robin holder.  robin holder is a recipient of a Mid Atlantic Arts Foundation:  Artist as Catalyst Grant.  Her artwork is in the collections of the Library of Congress and the Schomburg Center for Research in Black Culture. \n\n\n\nAbout the Immigration artworks\, robin holder observes “I was able to reflect upon the question :  “What is An American?” while developing Behind Each Window\, A Voice.  This series was initiated when I received a Brooklyn Arts Council Individual Visual Artist Grant.  The project provided an opportunity to interview a number of first and second generation immigrant neighbors from a range of countries:  Hungary\, Russia\, Ecuador\, Ireland\, Columbia\, The African Diaspora and India.  I experimented with extended approaches to printmaking.  These works were created by collaging of painting\, collage and printmaking techniques\, photograpahic lithography\, Xerox litho\, monoprinting with relief inked stencils\, photo silkscreen\, archival inkjet printing and photo silkscreen.  The works feature portraits that highlight diverse experiences and challenges.  I use the elements of doors and windows to signify the foundation of identity\, home\, neighborhood\, community and society.” \n\n\n\nThe Labor artworks feature robin holder’s pandemic First Responders.  robin holder explains\, “We’re in it together\, but COVID-19 impacts Black and Brown communities disproportionately.  We depend on our First Responders and Healthcare Workers to keep our society functioning.  Yet many of these heroes are people of color\, who are not receiving adequate wages\, healthcare\, child care\, benefits of pension plans.”  Construction workers are featured in other artworks\, created a decade ago\, with the expanding definition of “essential workers.”  And\, Labor Day\, from robin holder’s Our Social Skin series\, created in the shape of a stockbroker’s vest\, is displayed.  Our Social Skin is composed of artist books that question assumptions of cultural\, social and racial identity as referenced in the ten official holidays of the United States.  They reveal historic institutional conflicts of our communal identity. \n\n\n\nThis program is made possible in part by a grant administered by the Passaic County Cultural and Heritage Council from funds granted by the New Jersey State Council on the Arts.  \n\n\n\nOn Immigration and Labor exhibit by robin holder will be on view at the Museum through December 31st\, 2022. \n\n\n\nMore information at www.labormuseum.net

SUMMARY:Songs to Leave You in Stitches: The Story of the ILGWU’s Musical "Pins & Needles"
DESCRIPTION:Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance Cornell UniversityIthaca\, NY \n\n\n\nThe International Ladies’ Garment Workers’ Union produced the hit musical Pins and Needles\, which ran on Broadway from 1937-1940. For the topical skits spoofing current events\, workers moved from their sewing machines on the factory floor to the theatrical stage. “Songs to Leave You in Stitches: The Story of the ILGWU’s Musical Pins & Needles” explores the history\, social context\, and music of this important labor musical. \n\n\n\n“Songs to Leave You in Stitches” is the first of three “Fashioning Music” exhibits affiliated with Threads of History: Textiles at Cornell\, a series of exhibits organized by Cornell University Library in honor of the acquisition of the library and archives of the former American Textile History Museum\, whose mission had been to “tell America’s stories through textiles.” Highlighting materials from the former American Textile History Museum\, existing items from Cornell’s collections\, and original artwork\, Threads of History honors the storytelling\, history\, and artistry of textiles and those who labor to create them. \n\n\n\nThe exhibit is free and open to the public at the Sidney Cox Library of Music and Dance\, Cornell University\, during regular Music Library hours.

SUMMARY:NY Labor History Association's Annual Labor Education Awards
DESCRIPTION:Each year since 1987\, the New York Labor History Association has awarded the John Commerford Labor Education Award to two honorees for their contributions to workers’ empowerment. \n\n\n\nThe 2022 Awards will be held virtually on Thursday December 1\, 2022\, from 6-7 pm Eastern time\, honoring the extraordinary activist scholars Dorothy Sue Cobble and Melvyn Dubofsky.Registration is required. The event is free\, but donations are strongly recommended.  \n\n\n\nPlease REGISTER and DONATE  \n\n\n\nPatrons contributing $250 or more will be listed in the program. \n\n\n\nThis event is a partnership between The New York Labor History Association\, Labor Arts\, and the Tamiment Library & Robert F. Wagner Labor Archive at the NYU Special Collections. \n\n\n\n**************************************************** \n\n\n\n2022 COMMERFORD HONOREES \n\n\n\nDorothy Sue Cobble is an American historian\, and a specialist in the study of work\, social movements\, and social policy.  A distinguished professor emerita of history and labor studies at Rutgers University\, she is the author of multiple prize-winning books\, including Dishing It Out: Waitresses and Their Unions in the Twentieth Century (1991)\, The Other Women’s Movement: Workplace Justice and Social Rights in Modern America (2005)\, and The Sex of Class: Women Transforming American Labor (2007).Her most recent book\, For the Many: American Feminists and the Global Fight for Democratic Equality\, reveals the grit\, courage\, and wisdom of the women who led the fight for economic justice and social democracy in the United States and abroad. Her next book draws on the far-seeing ideas of labor thinkers of the past to help us reimagine a fairer\, more inclusive America. Cobble grew up in a blue-collar family in Atlanta in the 1950s. She credits her passion for issues of justice and inequality to the fierce debates about civil and human rights that surrounded her in high school\, to the sermons she heard in church\, and to her father’s pioneering work on minimum-wage legislation in Georgia as a lobbyist for the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. The jobs she held while completing her education profoundly shaped her thinking about work and labor reform. She worked as a waitress\, receptionist\, file clerk\, union ship-scaler and stevedore\, and eventually as an editorial assistant at TV Guide Magazine before receiving a B.A. degree in American Studies\, cum laude\, from the University of California at Berkeley and a Ph.D. in History from Stanford University. After directing the City College of San Francisco Labor Studies Program from 1980 to 1986\, Cobble moved to Rutgers\, where she founded the Center for Women and Work and taught classes for college students\, working adults\, and trade unionists. Recent honors include an Honorary Doctorate of Social Science from Stockholm University in 2017\, and election to the Society of American Historians in 2018. \n\n\n\nMelvyn Dubofsky has been an activist scholar and pioneering labor historian since the 1960s\, helping to advance the field of “new labor history\,” which focuses on the experiences of workers and social movements rather than institutions. A distinguished professor emeritus of history at Binghamton University\, he has written extensively about the role of politics and state action in the changing fortunes of the American labor movement\, and he stresses the role culture and the development of capitalism play in the American labor movement.  \n\n\n\nAt the Fernand Braudel Center at Binghamton his research has looked at how changing technology\, such as automation\, has driven worker activism. Dubofsky has taught and participated in collaborative projects with other scholars in England\, Israel\, Austria\, the Netherlands\, France\, and the former Soviet Union. \n\n\n\nHe grew up in the middle of the last century in a Brooklyn far different from today\, where most neighborhoods were drawn on ethnic lines\, with distinctly mixed class compositions with working people\, petty proprietors\, and even professionals (doctors\, dentists\, and attorneys) living next door to each other. His high school in Bedford Stuyvesant (Brooklyn’s version of Harlem) was the borough’s most diverse school\, with a substantial Black student body and a small white majority of mostly Jewish\, Italian\, and Irish teens. The impact of the Senator McCarthy fueled “red scare” was personal: his high school economics teacher and four of his first-year college teachers lost their jobs for refusing to name names during state or federal investigations. Those experiences led him\, in graduate school\, toward studying the history of working people\, a field of study that did not exist in the 1950s. \n\n\n\nAmong his most notable books are When Workers Organize: New York City in the Progressive Era (1967)\, We Shall Be All: A History of the Industrial Workers of the World (1969)\, John L. Lewis: A Biography (1977\, co-written with Warren Van Tine); The State and Labor in Modern America (1994); and Hard Work: The Making of a Labor Historian (2001). Currently\, he is editing a two-volume history of American Economic\, Business\, and Labor History for Oxford University Press. \n\n\n\n
