jul 5, 1869 - Knights of Labor founded in Philadelphia
Description:
The Knights of Labor was formed in order to try and improve their working rights. The group ranged from men to women, immigrants, and from skilled to unskilled workers. Their demands were not met since they did nothing to try and show they wanted change. They were the first labor group and led the way to many more that would come.
