This week on the Labor Heritage Power Hour: Murderous billionaires, labor’s racial divide, and DC Labor Chorus concert highlights.
Cultural critic Kathleen Newman looks at how labor themes are playing out in today’s film and television, historian Rudi Batzell unpacks how race and the legacy of slavery shaped early U.S. labor organizing, and we close with moving highlights from the DC Labor Chorus holiday concert. Plus, the latest labor arts news, including registration now open for the 2026 Labor Notes Conference and Great Labor Arts Exchange and new organizing wins across the museum sector.

This week on Labor History Today, we trace how the 1892 Homestead Strike lives on through film and song. Cultural critic Kathleen Newman takes us inside The Hidden Shift, a two-screen film installation that reimagines Homestead while linking it to today’s service-sector labor, and we close with Pete Seeger’s “Homestead Strike Song,” a reminder of how music has kept the story alive across generations.
