Labor Day<\/a> (American Celebrations)
\nby Lynn Hamilton (Author)<\/p>\n

Booktalk:<\/strong> Labor Day is celebrated on the first Monday in September, but why do we celebrate it? Find out in this book… <\/p>\n

Snippet:<\/strong> On Tuesday, September 5, 1882, the first Labor Day celebrations were held in New York City. About 10,000 workers marched in the parade. They carried signs that read, “Eight Hours for Work: Eight Hours for Rest; Eight Hours for Recreation!”<\/em><\/p>\n
