“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?⁠
