DC Labor Walk Explores IBEW Museum(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)The latest DC Labor Walk offers a very special guided tour of the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) museum. The IBEW museum – open only by appointment – presents an interactive history of the IBEW from its founding until today, tracing the fascinating development of the electrical industry over the last century through displays of equipment used by members going back to the 1890’s, including a collection of lightbulbs spanning more than a century. Raising money for the Metro Council’s Community Services Agency’s Emergency Assistance Fund ($20/person; $35/couple), the tour will be led by IBEW Museum Curator Curtis Bateman and will include a visit to the IBEW rooftop patio to take in the spectacular views of the DC skyline.
