He advocates for a society that recognizes the dignity of labor and the interconnectedness of all individuals, challenging readers to consider their role in fostering a just community. Ideal for students, civic activists, and historians, this volume serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring struggle for social equity and the need for ethical engagement in public life.
