If you’ve been looking for a great reason to visit St. Louis, A Brick and a Bible is it. The new labor play tells the gripping story of the 1933 Funsten Nut Strike, when Black women workers organized more than 2,000 people across five factories to challenge low wages, dangerous conditions, and Jim Crow segregation—brought to life with an original jazz and blues score and a powerful reminder of labor’s deep ties to the civil rights movement. We’ll also be featuring the playwrights in an upcoming episode of the The Labor Heritage Power Hour.
