3-24-16 The Birth of Dorothy Height in 2:00 (last time my 2:00 posts will be in this S-P Group)
Because of a complaint today about me doing multiple posts on the same subject in different forums and groups, my 2:00 posts are going to a entirely different place from now on. Labor History in 2:00 will now be here: http://jackpineradicals.org/forumdisplay.php?39-The-Wizard-Room
Several catch up posts will be there in the next hour.

March 24, 2016
On this day in Labor History the year was 1912. That was the birthday of Dorothy Height, a Civil Rights leader and a champion for black women domestic workers. Domestic workers had largely been left out of the labor protections passed as part of the New Deal.
