💨 Abstract

Alexis Herman, the first Black U.S. Secretary of Labor, passed away at 77. Herman, a fierce advocate for workplace equality, broke barriers throughout her career. In the Clinton administration, she mediated the largest U.S. strike in a decade, advanced the interests of the underprivileged, and brought the unemployment rate to a three-decade low.
