CWA Takes Part in Black Labor Week
Members of CWA, including President Claude Cummings Jr. and AFA-CWA International Vice President Keturah Johnson, participated in this year’s Black Labor Week alongside allies from organizations including the AFL-CIO, the A. Philip Randolph Institute, United Service Workers, and Pride At Work. Black Labor Week Project (BLWP) is a nonprofit organization committed to developing leadership and channeling economic and educational resources into Black communities.
The five-day event included multiple panel discussions, community service projects, and a civil rights awards gala where BLWP presented President Cummings with the “Living Legend Award” for his lifelong commitment to both the labor and civil rights movements.
