Attached: 1 image Today in Labor History January 15, 1929: Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was born. King once said, "We look around every day and we see thousands and millions of people making inadequate wages. Not only do they work in our hospitals, they work in our hotels, they work in our laundries, they work in domestic service, they find themselves unemployed. You see, no labor is really menial unless you're not getting adequate wages." King was assassinated on March 29, 1968 in Memphis, Tennessee, where he had gone to support striking black sanitation workers. #workingclass #LaborHistory #mlk #MartinLutherKing #civilrights #assassination #racism #strike #unions #wages
