Through labor unions, workers organize for better conditions. The figure of a labor leader modelled after John L. Lewis dominates this middle section. Behind him is the Triangle Shirtwaist Building, the site of a tragic fire in 1911, which sparked the movement that resulted in the International Ladies’ Garment Workers Union (ILGWU). On the lower right, an arched doorway marked ILGWU leads to a hall showing the progressive path toward a brighter future through unionized labor.
