“I am opposing a social order in which it is possible for one man who does absolutely nothing that is useful to amass a fortune of hundreds of millions of dollars, while millions of men and women who work all their lives secure barely enough for a wretched existence.” ~ Eugene Debs

A vertical poster in ink and watercolor. A ramschackle house in the foreground contrasts with a mansion on a large estate in the background. Against a cloudy sky is a quotation in black block letters: "“I am opposing a social order in which it is possible for one man who does absolutely nothing that is useful to amass a fortune of hundreds of millions of dollars, while millions of men and women who work all their lives secure barely enough for a wretched existence.” A placard leaning against a fence says, "Eugene V. Debs - labor and socialist leader, presidential candidate - June 16, 1918".

“What the woman who labors wants is the right to live, not simply exist – the right to life as the rich woman has the right to life, and the sun and music and art.  You have nothing that the humblest worker has not a right to have also. The worker must have bread, but she must have roses too.”

A large colorful poster in a scratchboard style, with a lengthy quote in block purple lettering in the center. The quote is framed by a red rose with green leaves, curving up the left side of the image; a yellow sun in the upper right with rays streching across the entire top of the page; and a tree with green leaves on the right, underneath which a woman with a black top and blue skirt sits gazing upwards and to the left. The bottom is a wavy field of blue. The featured quotation reads: “What the woman who labors wants is the right to live, not simply exist – the right to life as the rich woman has the right to life, and the sun and music and art. You have nothing that the humblest worker has not a right to have also. The worker must have bread, but she must have roses too.” Rose Schneiderman Feminist Labor leader 1912.

July 22 - The Nation’s First General Strike

On this day in Labor History the year was 1877. A group of labor leaders and members of the Workingmen’s Party met in St. Louis. They were there because of the labor strike that had swept the nation. The United States was in the grip of a terrible depression. Railroad workers in Martinsburg, West Virginia had walked off the job, after their wages were slashed.

“Laughter is the sound of hope. Hope is the seed of power. Power is the combined force of a multitude of voices joined together… that began as a mere whisper, lost in the immense darkness and the ferocious cold, and only kept alive by small improbable notes of laughter.”

Brightly colored poster. On the top 3/4 of the image, various colorful faces fill the poster, surrounding a blue figure that stands with its arms stretched to the top of the picture. It stands on text that reads “Laughter is the sound of hope. Hope is the seed of power. Power is the combined force of a multitude of voices joined together… that began as a mere whisper, lost in the immense darkness and the ferocious cold, and only kept alive by small improbable notes of laughter.”
