EDITORS COMMENTS
The photograph captures a significant moment in American labor history. In the image, two prominent labor leaders, Philip Murray and John Llewellyn Lewis, are seen walking side by side in a hallway of an interior space in Washington, D. C. The photo was taken on December 2nd, 1937. Murray and Lewis were influential figures during the early days of the American labor movement. Both men played crucial roles in organizing workers and advocating for their rights. Murray served as the president of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO), while Lewis was the president of the United Mine Workers. Dressed in coats and hats to shield themselves from the cold North American winter, Murray stands on the left while Lewis is positioned on his right. Their determined expressions suggest their commitment to fighting for better working conditions and fair treatment for all workers. This photograph serves as a reminder of their tireless efforts to improve labor standards and protect workers' rights during a time when unions faced significant opposition from corporations and government entities alike. As we reflect upon this image today, it reminds us of how far we have come thanks to these dedicated individuals who paved the way for improved worker protections that continue to shape our society today.
