This work is based on a placard used in a protest organized by the International Ladies Garment Workers Union, depicted in an archival photograph in the the International Ladies Garment Workers’ Union archives at the Kheel Center, Cornell University. The exact date of the protest is unknown, but it took place shortly after the US Supreme Court overturned the National Recovery Act, in 1935.
