The Gravy podcast explores how, from Punchin' the Dough to Peach Pickin' Time in Georgia, music has long included songs about labor.
On Black Work Talk, host Steven Pitts talks with labor icon William A. Lucy, whose more than fifty-year career included working on the sanitation workers campaign that brought Martin Luther King to Memphis in 1968.
And, on today’s Labor History in 2:00: Fighting for Equal Pay
