The New Year isn’t here just yet, but mark your 2018 calendar now for the Great Labor Arts Exchange, June 21-24 at the Tommy Douglas Conference Center in Silver Spring. “Join us for a weekend of workshops, films, music, spoken word, jam sessions and open mike!” says Elise Bryant of the Labor Heritage Foundation. “Bring your instrument, your voice, your beat box, your song, your poem, your story or just yourself!” The focus of the 2018 Exchange will be remembering the 1968 Memphis Sanitation Workers Strike and the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., as well as celebrating the 25th anniversary of the founding of Local 1000 of the American Federation of Musicians.
