Happy Labor Day, folk fans!

This Labor Day, we’re exploring titles from our catalog that document the labor movement. Champions of this movement like Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Joe Glazer, the Almanac Singers, and more, called for just wages, dignity, and a fair shake. They voiced grievances, affirmed the value of the worker to society, and expressed hope for life in a more just world. Many of these stirring songs of love for their fellow workers ring just as true today as they did then.

Tell us about your favorites, or head to our Instagram Stories today to follow along!
