Today's Story from Our Flag
... is about Labor Day ...
... is about Labor Day ...
According to the U.S. Department of Labor, Labor Day is a national tribute to the contributions workers have made to the strength, prosperity, and well-being of our country. Seen in the picture above, the first Labor Day celebration was a parade held on September 5, 1882, to showcase a variety of labor organizations in New York City (NYC). With the success and growth of the parade, labor leaders began pursuing a national 'Labor Day' holiday through the rest of the 1880s. In 1894, Congress passed and President Grover Cleveland signed a law making the first Monday in September a national holiday called Labor Day.
