This year marks the 50th anniversary of the historic Stonewall Rebellion.
 

In commemoration of that historic occasion, the UMass Dartmouth Labor Education Center, in collaboration with  Eastern Mass Pride at Work, held an event at the Provincetown Public Library on the afternoon of Saturday, August 24.  The Director of the Provincetown library provided an introduction and we thank them hosting the Labor Education Center for our first event at the library.

 

Two current members of P@W gave presentations about both the history of LGBTQ+ labor activism and current events. There followed a lively discussion with the Labor Education Center. Camilo Viveiros is already working to develop a program for 2020 to provide a labor history program that highlights the role of community and labor activists in developing the theater and culture of Provincetown.
