Description
Join us as we welcome Larry Spivack, longtime Oak Park resident and President of the Illinois Labor History Society, to OPRF Museum.
Spivack will delve into the history of the labor movement and share stories of the working people and events that helped transform America, focusing especially on Chicago and the Illinois region. A particular emphasis will be given to the Haymarket Affair, its lasting impact on workers, and the role it played in the creation of International Labor Day, also known as May Day.
This event is free to OPRF Museum members; regular museum admission rates will apply for non-members.
