On this week’s Labor History Today: U.S. Senator Bernie Sanders accepts the 60th annual Eugene V. Debs Award from the Eugene V. Debs Foundation in Terre Haute, Indiana — and pays tribute to the labor legend not as a figure of the past, but as an inspiration for the struggles of today. From the Pullman Strike to the Atlanta Federal Penitentiary, from Debs’ call for human kinship — “while there is a soul in prison, I am not free” — to Sanders’ warning about today’s billionaire class, this episode connects the struggles of the past to the movements of the present.
