Labor Walk Draws A Crowd
Monday, June 13, 2011(Metropolitan Washington Council, AFL-CIO)
More than two dozen labor history fans turned out for Friday’s
edition of the Washington Worker’s Walking Tour, including Minority Outreach
Conference attendees and local activists. Metro Council Union Cities Coordinator
Chris Garlock led the Tour, which included the AFL-CIO lobby murals, the 1953
CIO headquarters, the Real Roosevelt Memorial, Joe Hill’s ashes; bas relief
depictions of Labor & Trade at the FTC, the 1895 Knights Of Labor HQ, the
Bonus Army and a glimpse of the brand-new lobby bas relief at the Teamsters HQ.
The Tour benefited the Metro Washington Council’s Community Services Agency.
Another Tour is planned for the Fall and will benefit DC Jobs with Justice.
