A Brick and a Bible

This week on the Labor Heritage Power Hour: We explore the forgotten 1933 Funsten Nut Strike in St. Louis with playwrights Kathryn Bentley and Colin McLaughlin, creators of the new play A Brick and a Bible, about Black women workers who organized thousands during the Great Depression.

Then, from the Labor Notes podcast, director Chris Sessions and Andy Myers of Working Films discuss the documentary Partners: How Starbucks Baristas Started a Labor Revolution and how screenings are being used to build real-world solidarity.

Plus: the latest labor arts and history news and Labor History in 2:00.

Broadcast on January 29, 2026; hosted by Chris Garlock and Shannon Drake; produced by Chris Garlock; engineered by Mike Nasella & Kahlia Chapman.
