On this week's Labor History Today, host Chris Garlock explores how workers' struggles leave lasting marks—not just on history, but on the physical landscape itself.

Today, even the small gravestone marking where workers were killed may have disappeared—raising urgent questions about how labor history is remembered, and how easily it can be erased. These stories are drawn from the Labor Heritage Foundation's new Labor Landmarks Map, a growing, crowd-sourced resource documenting sites of working-class struggle, resistance, and memory. In our second segment, Tales from the Reuther Library celebrates its 100th episode by exploring how bold philanthropy helped fund labor organizing and civil liberties movements during some of America's darkest times.

The Labor Heritage Foundation's weekly Labor Heritage Power Hour radio show/podcast hosts an annual "Labor Grammys," where listeners vote among the entries on the winner. I'm very gratified to say that this year Ai Tsuno's "No Contract, No Coffee" was the winner (with one of my favorite living artists, Maria Dunn of Alberta, Canada, the runner-up). During the first half of this latest episode, host Chris Garlock and I talk in between songs about Minneapolis, music, AI, and other fraught subjects.
