The NAACP (National Association for the Advancement of Colored People), founded in 1909, advocates for civil rights and combats racial discrimination against African Americans. Its primary purposes include challenging discriminatory laws through legal action, protecting the voting rights of African Americans, promoting discussions on racial issues, and advocating for economic empowerment through fair labor practices and equal job opportunities. The NAACP has made significant legal achievements, including landmark cases like Brown v. Board of Education, which ended school segregation. Additionally, it has played a crucial role in advocating for fair treatment of African American workers and encouraging grassroots organizing for social justice. By increasing voter turnout and political representation among African Americans, the NAACP has had a profound impact on advancing civil rights, improving labor conditions, and promoting social justice, continuing to influence the fight for equality today. #AfricanAmericansandLabor

Mathematician Dr. Gladys West is known for her pioneering work in the development of the Global Positioning System (GPS). She labored as a mathematician and programmer at the U.S. Naval Surface Warfare Center, where she worked with computers to map the exact shape of the Earth using math and satellite data which became essential for modern GPS technology. Though her contributions were not widely recognized for many years, she gained recognition later in life for her groundbreaking work and was inducted into the U.S. Air Force Hall of Fame in 2018. Her research made it possible for GPS to be as precise as it is today. Thanks to her contribution, we can easily find directions and track locations worldwide. #AfricanAmericansandLabor

Black Wall Street refers to the Greenwood District in Tulsa, Oklahoma, a thriving African American community in the early 1900’s. It was founded by O.W. Gurley, a wealthy black landowner who purchased 40 acres of land and designated it exclusively for Black residents and businesses. Gurley provided loans to black entrepreneurs, fostering economic growth. Black Wall Street became one of the wealthiest black communities in the U.S., home to successful businesses, banks, restaurants, and cultural institutions. However, on May 31–June 1, 1921, it was destroyed in the Tulsa Race Massacre when a mob, fueled by racial tensions and false accusations, attacked the district. Hundreds of black residents were killed, thousands were left homeless, and businesses were burned to the ground. Despite the devastation, many residents rebuilt, though the community never fully regained its former prosperity due to systemic racism and economic oppression. Today, Black Wall Street stands as a symbol of black economic success and resilience, with ongoing efforts to preserve its history and honor its legacy. #AfricanAmericansandLabor

Claudette Colvin is a civil rights pioneer who, at just 15 years old, refused to give up her bus seat to a white passenger in Montgomery, Alabama, on March 2, 1955, nine months before Rosa Parks' more famous act of defiance. Colvin was arrested and became one of the first people to challenge bus segregation in court. She was a plaintiff in Browder v. Gayle, the case that ultimately led to the Supreme Court ruling that Montgomery's bus segregation laws were unconstitutional. Despite her bravery, Colvin's story was largely overshadowed by Parks', partly because civil rights leaders at the time felt Colvin, a teenager from a working-class background, was not the ideal face for the movement. However, in recent years, she has gained more recognition for her crucial role in the fight for racial justice. #AfricanAmericansandLabor

When Henrietta Lacks was admitted to Johns Hopkins Hospital, she had no idea that cells from her biopsied tumor would be deemed immortal, capable of surviving and reproducing indefinitely in a laboratory. Without her knowledge or consent, doctors took a sample of her cervical cancer cells, which were later cultured by George Otto Gey, leading to the creation of the HeLa cell line. These cells became the first human cells to continuously grow and divide outside the body, enabling groundbreaking discoveries in medicine. HeLa cells contributed to the development of the polio vaccine, advancements in cancer research, AIDS treatment, cloning, and in vitro fertilization, and they continue to provide invaluable medical data today. Although some researchers were aware of HeLa cells’ origins before 1970, Henrietta Lacks' family did not learn about their existence until 1975. Despite the HeLa cell line becoming a multi-billion-dollar industry, her family never received any financial compensation. Few individuals in medical history have contributed to saving as many lives as Henrietta Lacks. #AfricanAmericansandLabor
