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.”
“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.”
