"The truth is that because of the Labor Heritage Foundation, we in the union movement get to hear some of the best music
and see some of the finest art and watch some of the most creative theatre in America. That's exactly what the
Labor Heritage Foundation mission is for working people. You thrill us, move us, charm us, make us angry, make us
laugh, and sometimes you even get us to sing along, even if we are a little out of tune and we don't remember all
the lyrics. I have always thought that the very best description of the Labor Heritage Foundation is a line
in that great old
song 'Bread and Roses' it says:
A thousand mill lofts gray
Are touched with all the radiance
That a sudden sun discloses
For the people here are singing:
That is who you are, that is what you do, you are our movement's radiance. You are the roses that help working people experience the world and each other a little differently. You are our hope and our weapon and our poetry. I thank you and God Bless all the good work you do."
