Bread & Roses is a monthly labor series that features a variety of events focused on workers and organized labor. Each month brings a new topic through interactive discussions, film screenings, and performances. The hope for these events is that attendees walk away with a greater understanding of organized labor, its role in shaping history and current relevance. The name "Bread & Roses" was inspired by a poem/song written by James Oppenheim that appeals for both fair wages and dignified conditions.
This Month: Screening "Soundtrack For A Revolution"
A fresh and exhilarating take on one of the most important social movements in American history, "Soundtrack for a Revolution" explores the civil rights struggle through the powerful and stirring songs that inspired a generation, sung by some of today’s greatest artists: John Legend, Joss Stone, Wyclef Jean, The Roots, Harry Belafonte and more.
“Whether you lived through the civil rights movement or not, the Danny Glover-produced, marvelously musical "Soundtrack for a Revolution" will leave you deeply moved and humming.â€
“An incredibly moving experience to watch the struggles everyone went through, all framed by the protest songs of the time and what they represented to those in the trenches.â€
