Many offices are closed Monday, in recognition of the holiday named for the late civil rights leader, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. There?s one part of the holiday that many will fail to focus on, according to William Jones. He?s a history professor at UW-Madison who studies issues of race, class and work. Jones told WUWM?s Ann-Elise Henzl that King?s mission and the holiday itself are tied to labor, and the struggle for better wages and work conditions.
