Striking mill workers in Lawrence, Mass., carried placards in 1912 saying, "We Want Bread and Roses Too." It's not enough for working people to feed our bodies with bread—we also have to nourish our hearts and spirits with art.

America's union movement has a rich culture all its own, telling the story of working families in art, photography, theater, fiction, films and more.
