Commemorating Dr. King's sacrifice for workers' rights
On April 4, 2011 and the anniversary of Dr. King’s death, people in communities across North Carolina will join hundreds of thousands of others across this country to commemorate the sacrifice he made to bring about economic justice, human rights, and human dignity for working men and women. We will remember the courage and determination of those 1,300 workers who endured assault and arrest as they walked a picket line to demand equal treatment under the law – equal treatment denied to public employees in North Carolina since 1959.
Prelude events will be held on Sunday, April 3 in select cities. Scroll down for all the information we have on events being held both days.
