Black History Month Profiles: Shawnte Harris

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 Shawnte Harris of the Laborers (LIUNA).

Shawnte Harris is a third-term apprentice for LIUNA Local 737. “I have been able to get a house, and my family is way better off. I like knowing that I am doing things the right way in life. I am a blue-collar American!”
