at the Emerson Performance Center at Harris Stowe University, 3026 Laclede, 63103  For the past six years, “Bread & Roses” has served as an annual celebration of the arts in political action and in the lives of workers. This year, Jobs with Justice is seeking film submissions for the annual exhibition.  "Bread & Roses" was named for the labor hymn which reminds us, "Hearts starve as well as bodies".   Bread and Roses feeds that hunger by being a fun and inspirational event that each year calls for submission on a different theme, drawn from the struggles and ongoing campaigns in the Jobs with Justice Coalition.
