EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the iconic American labor leader, John Llewellyn Lewis, during a powerful speech at the 35th Biennial Convention of the United Mine Workers in Washington, D. C. in 1938. Standing tall with an air of determination and conviction, Lewis denounces wage and price reductions that threaten the rights of workers across the nation. The image showcases Lewis as a true statesman of his time - a man who dedicated his life to fighting for fair wages and better working conditions for laborers. With one hand raised in a commanding gesture, he commands attention from his audience while holding onto a microphone that amplifies his voice. The interior setting adds depth to this historical moment; an early American flag stands proudly behind him, symbolizing patriotism intertwined with the fight for workers' rights. The portrait perfectly captures Lewis's leadership qualities - strong-willed yet compassionate towards those he represented. As president of both the United Mine Workers and Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO), John Llewellyn Lewis played an instrumental role in shaping America's labor movement during this era. This photograph serves as a reminder of his unwavering dedication to improving working conditions and ensuring fair treatment for all workers across North America.
