(electrical buzzing)
- So one lovely thing that I've noticed about Washington,
just kind of collateral loveliness,
is everywhere you go there are just parks.
And all the leaves are golden brown
in the name of the Stranglers song.
If you're old enough to remember that, you're old.
But Washington DC certainly does remind me of London.
I feel like I'm in Regent's Park right now.
The buildings look very similar.
The climate's very similar.
Except they drive on the other side of the road.
But I'm having all those feelings,
especially because it's November, nearly December.
Those nip in the cheeks,
that little cold in the air,
the brown of the leaves.
Oh, I could be strolling past Buckingham Palace right now.

Working class heroes: A look inside the Labor Archives of Washington - Duration: 2:17.
My name is Conor Casey and I am a labor archivist at the Labor Archives of Washington
We talk about the concepts of records right and that literally just
means everything that records information or history.
Here's a good one.
The thing that I find to be most poignant is the images of people who
literally gave their lives to improve the labor movement.
The Chris Mensalvas and Silme Domingo photograph collection,
which relates to the history of the
Cannery and Farm Laborers Union.
Silme Domingo and Gene Viernes were killed
because they were trying to make sure that civil rights had meaning and that
workers were able to form unions of their own choosing.
I'm also gonna grab
Anna Louise Strong's papers.
A journalist and a writer who was involved with the Seattle
general strike of 1919 and she's a great example of an independent female
journalist writer around the turn of the century.
Our collections span everywhere
from before statehood to yesterday.
When collections first come in, this is what
we call the accessioning area and it's where we take intellectual and legal and
physical custody of the records.
So this is from the WTO protests. It's actually a
banner that workers marched behind. Picket signs from
different — somewhat recent — campaigns
That paper sign was from Familias Unidas por La Justicia
which is a farm worker organization in Skagit County.
This is a union that's
still around today. They were largely Scandinavian American fishermen.
This one's important because it's like talking about what they'll take for each
pound of fish.
Everyone's a worker if you have to work for your living.
Well if we
don't honor that and honor ourselves as workers we're not going to understand
the way our work and ourselves as workers have transformed society.
The thing that I like the most is knowing that these are people's stories that may
have known personally that their stories were important but never thought anybody
would care. We're an institution that says this is important.
We want to make sure that everyone knows that their stories are
welcome here.
