EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a significant moment in American history - the National Maritime Union's protest against the U. S. Commerce Department Building in Washington, D. C. on May 17th, 1939. In this image, members of the union are seen marching in an orderly line along the streets of our nation's capital. With determined expressions etched on their faces, these brave men took to the streets to voice their opposition against the indiscriminate issuance of seamans certificates by displaying powerful signs that demanded justice and fair treatment for workers. This demonstration was part of a larger labor movement aimed at improving working conditions and protecting workers' rights during this early period. The photograph showcases not only the strength and unity within this particular union but also highlights their commitment to fighting for better opportunities for all maritime workers across North America. The sight of these dedicated picketers walking together with purpose is a testament to their resilience and unwavering spirit. As we reflect upon this historic moment frozen in time, let us remember those who fought tirelessly so that future generations could enjoy improved labor standards. This photo serves as a reminder that collective action can bring about meaningful change when individuals come together with determination and solidarity.
