February celebrates Black History month. Martin Luther King Jr. played an integral part in the struggle for worker’s rights. He died fighting for the right of public sector sanitation workers to make living wages and join together in a union. All these years later, his tireless fight for racial and economic justice is still in the forefront of our minds and the idea that uniting in solidarity can only make us stronger still prevails.
