A collage piece of child coal miners in Wales with the text Labor Part-time Full-time affixed. Black and white/sepia.
photo of burnt out trees, denuded, by a lake shore, mountains behind, cloudy sky with blue patches, a shimmer on the lake. A sense of an abandoned site.
Text: Full-time at top. At bottom Working People. A collage of various 'images' of female and male labor --Top left a black father looking at his baby, on the right a poor woman with daughter on knee -- black and white, old photo, bottom left, a black female doll at a toy cooking stove, on right a well dressed white woman modeling cookware and furniture. Dialectics and juxtapositions of economic status and power.
A printed poster with words EDUCATE AGITATE ORGANIZE bordered in red 2 circled stamps of agitated red cat inbetween words. Sepia/tan poster . Words in black block text, old font.
A Collage of cut out transparencies of Engels on left, Marx on right -- in a diagonal relationship, a blue-green typewriter beneath -- faded.
Dignity of Labor -- a colllage. A older woman holding a cooking pot, she is wearing a black mask-hoodie, a blue-white poncho, with grey.
