Black History Month Profiles: Ann-Marie Clark-Borden

This year, for Black History Month, we’re taking a look at a group of leaders who are currently active making Black history across the labor movement. Check back daily for a new profile and meet some of the people working to improve not only their community, but also to improve conditions for working people across the country. Today’s profile is Ann-Marie Clark-Borden of AFSCME.

Ann-Marie Clark-Borden is the carpenter foreperson at the Boston Public Library, where she leads a three-person team in maintaining all 26 branches of the public library. As the first woman and first African American to hold her current position, she is opening doors for others. Clark-Borden understands the power in collective action and says that love is what motivates her to go above and beyond for her co-workers and her community.
