Labor Day falls on the first Monday in September and is a day the U.S. honors the labor movement. Towards the latter half of the 1890s, Nebraska was one of the first nine states to deem Labor Day a holiday, leading the way for Congress to pass an act that would make it a legal […]
On Thursday, August 20th from 1-5pm, head over to the Metropolitan Community College’s South Omaha Campus at the ITC Building.
