This print showcases the influential American labor leader, John L. Lewis (1880-1969), captured in November 1925. Seated with an air of determination, Lewis exudes strength and resilience as he gazes into the distance. Known for his pivotal role in shaping the labor movement during its early years, Lewis was a prominent figure in American history. The photograph beautifully captures Lewis' commitment to fighting for workers' rights and improving working conditions. As a founding member of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO) and president of the United Mine Workers (UMW), he dedicated his life to advocating for fair wages, safer workplaces, and better treatment for miners across America. Lewis' legacy extends far beyond this portrait; it symbolizes an era when labor unions were gaining momentum and challenging oppressive practices within industries. His leadership inspired countless men like him - hardworking miners who sought justice amidst difficult circumstances. Photographer Llewellyn's skilled composition highlights every line on Lewis' face, telling a story of perseverance etched by years spent fighting against injustice. This image serves as a reminder that progress is achieved through unwavering dedication and collective action. As we reflect upon this powerful image from Granger Art on Demand, let us remember John L.
