Labor Educator Deborah Rosenstein designed and directed this project; past LES staff member John See made the original website a reality; past Workday Magazine editor Barb Kucera assisted with the script for Minneapolis 1934. Keri Poeppe helped LES transfer the original website to its current form.

Truckers Make History, past LES video producer Randy Croce edited the film and Elise Langer donated her voice for the narration. Larry Long generously contributed his 1934-inspired version of Which Side Are You On?"

Many of the resources included on this site exist thanks to Judy Ancel (University of Missouri, Kansas City Institute for Labor Studies), Fred Glass (California Federation of Teachers) and other committed educators and activists. A collection of labor-in-the-schools curricula is also available.
