The last 225 years hold stories about American workers that are too incredible to ignore: Stories of hope, strength, dedication, unity, and bravery.
“Who made America,
Whose sweat and blood, whose faith and pain,
Whose hand at the foundry, whose plow in the rain
Must bring back our mighty dream again.”Langston Hughes, “Let America Be America Again,” 1938
This Exhibition calls us to look at these stories and to consider how we play a part in them. Take a moment to rethink where, how, with whom, and why we work. Hard-working Americans of every ethnicity, class, gender, and age power our nation.
Be inspired by how far we’ve come and join the excitement for what lies ahead.
