File:Mission$labor-temple-old.jpg
Based on six months of historical research about the former San Francisco Labor Temple, headquarters of the Labor Council and home to the Labor Clarion newspaper and numerous locals from 1914 to 1968, this twelve mural project includes six murals on labor themes, including the 1934 general strike, the organization of Chinese garment workers in 1938, the department store strikes of the early forties and the career of Dow Wilson of Painters Local 4, who was assassinated in 1966. This mural was organized by the Clarion Alley Mural Project with a grant from the Creative Work Fund. Photo: San Francisco History Room, SF Public Library, San Francisco, CA
