On Thursday, August 31, a statue honoring Samuel Gompers will be unveiled at a reception at the Nature Center at North Park Village, 5801 N. Pulaski Rd. in Chicago.  The life-size statue will be installed later this year in Gompers Park at Foster Ave. and Pulaski Rd.

This will be a major display of labor's contribution to the City of Chicago and the State of Illinois.  Come for a preview of the statue and to represent organized labor in Chicago.
