Human dignity is indivisible. Indeed, the rebirth of a dynamic, democratic, multicultural labor movement is essential to the social and political health of our nation. "Workers' Rights are Civil Rights: A Teach-in with the Labor Movement," scheduled for February 27-28 on the grounds of the University of Virginia, will promote the engagement of a new generation of students, academics, and organizers by exploring the links between economic injustice, on the one hand, and racial, social, and gender inequalities, on the other. Among the speakers and panelists are Richard Trumka, Secretary-Treasurer of the AFL-CIO; Barbara Ehrenreich, author and feminist, Julian Bond, civil rights leader and lecturer at the University of Virginia; Pamela Karlan, professor of Law, Edward Ayers, Hugh Kelly professor of History; Daniel LeBlanc, president, Virginia AFL-CIO; Barbara Pnear, chair of the University of North Carolina Housekeepers Association; Deborah McDowell, professor of English; Sharon Hays, professor of Sociology; Adolph Reed, professor of Political Science at Northwestern University; Joyce Breeden, UVa classified staff; Nelson Lichtenstein, professor of History; Jimmy Brooks, president, American Postal Workers Union Local in Charlottesville; George Rutherglen, O.M. Vickers professor of Law; John McCutcheon, folksinger and labor activist; and Rebecca Hyman, teaching assistant in English. We endorse this important and timely convocation. Please join us.
