REMINDER -- LABOR DAY: No Classes

Blacks for the most part see Labor Day as another vacation/holiday before the end of summer. It can remind us of the difficulties that many modern Blacks endure while trying get work at a decent pay. It is said that "many of us have been locked out of unions, accused of taking jobs that belonged to whites, are under-paid, not promoted as quickly as whites, and even now we are still the last hired and the first fired." -- The African American Lectionary.
and 
"Make sure you are not only a laborer forever — set out to own valuable assets as well." -- Lawrence M. Watkins |
