Concert for a Meaningful Labor Day with Bill Cohen – Sept 6

Join Bill Cohen for a Concert for a Meaningful Labor Day “Celebrating All Who Work” on Sunday, September 6 at 4 pm – 5:30 pm.

Bill will sing songs made famous by a wide variety of folks: Woody Guthrie, Sam Cooke, Dolly Parton, Pete Seeger, Bruce Springsteen, Alabama, James Taylor, etc. Powerful vocal harmonies will be added by veteran Columbus musicians Phil Hart and Teresa Schleifer.

Plus, we’ll recall how, decades ago, labor unions won historic reforms that many of us take for granted today – the 8-hour workday, improved workplace safety, a guaranteed minimum wage, and an end to child labor.
