On the Web: Learn More During Labor History Month

May is Labor History Month, and whether you want to learn about oral histories or famous union leaders, some new websites are making it easier than ever to explore the rich history of the fight for workers' rights.

Union leaders, students, teachers and activists all can take advantage of new resources to keep telling our story and building our future.

The website of the American Labor Studies Center, www.labor-studies.org, links users to materials from the Library of Congress, the Smithsonian, the National Archives, Labor Department, the AFL-CIO, top university labor programs and much more.

"Labor History Links," a site developed by a Duke University labor historian, is a comprehensive bibliography of information, documents and links of U.S. labor history sites; users also can recommend links to be added to it. Click here to visit the site.

The website includes teachers' lesson plans, information organized by date and topic, biographies and oral history, labor culture through films, songs, literature, art and photos, listings of state and local historical sites and much more.
