The 2025 National theme, “African Americans and Labor,” focuses on the various and profound ways that work and working of all kinds – free and unfree, skilled, and unskilled, vocational and voluntary – intersect with the collective experiences of African Americans. Studying African Americans’ labor and labor struggles allows for new interpretations and reinterpretations of African American heritage and its continuing evolution. (ASALH)

Sponsored and produced by Junctions, the 2025 Lakeshore Mall, “African Americans and Labor – Cornerstones and Pillars” is a visual and oral exhibit, highlighting some of Highlands County’s past and present African American entrepreneurs, labor contributors, and supporters. The exhibit is intentional in encouraging broad reflections on intersections between African American’s work and their workplaces in all their iterations and key moments.
