Labor Day was created in 1882. Originally, it was intended to be a less controversial workers’ day than May Day, with its Socialist origins. Today, however, much of this history is forgotten and Labor Day is often thought of as simply the official end to summer. Although around Labor Day is a really good time to consider the work that people actually do in a society, this lesson is relevant year around.
Teaching Tolerance is dedicated to reducing prejudice, improving intergroup relations and supporting equitable school experiences for our nation’s children. Our teaching materials have won two Oscars, an Emmy and more than 20 honors from the Association of Educational Publishers, including two Golden Lamp Awards, the industry’s highest honor. Scientific surveys demonstrate that our programs help students learn respect for differences and bolster teacher practice.
