“It is a crime for people to live in this rich nation and receive starvation wages.” — Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. ’48
On this
#LaborDay, we remember that the fight for dignity in work is deeply tied to the fight for justice.
In 1968, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. ’48 stood with Memphis sanitation workers during the “I Am a Man” strike, where men demanded fair wages and humane treatment. Their struggle reminds us that labor is not just about work— it is about respect, equity, and humanity.
As we honor the contributions of working people everywhere, let us ask ourselves: How are we continuing the work to ensure dignity, fairness, and justice in our communities today?
