MCMA 2016 Labor Day Banner Parade
Channel: Portland Media Center
Date: 2016-09-06

Artist Ellen Babcock has created new banners honoring workers and their trades. These banners pay homage to historical banners that were paraded along Congress Street by members of the Maine Charitable Mechanic Association in the past. The organization paraded the new banners on Labor Day 2016 in the hopes of reviving the tradition of honoring workers.
