This week, the Memory Work Research Initiative (MWRI), a project of the UCLA Institute for Research on Labor and Employment (IRLE), relaunched its website Power from the Past, which documents labor history in Los Angeles.
The website is a digital repository of photographs, videos, documents and memories highlighting historic campaigns to advance worker justice. Gathered in collaboration with community partners, the materials featured on the refreshed “Power from the Past” website give visitors an intimate and immersive view of organizing in Los Angeles.
