Labor Day, what is it and what does it mean to me?
Celebrated on the first Monday in September, Labor Day honors the contributions workers have made to strengthen the prosperity and wellbeing of America. While today’s holiday is marked with leisurely activities including parades, picnics and pool-time, a look back at history reveals the struggles many individuals endured to achieve the American dream.
