Overview of the history of the house that is now the American Labor Museum/Botto House. The house located at 83 Norwood Street in Haledon, New Jersey was thrust into extraordinary prominence in 1913 as the assembly place for thousands of striking workers. Before this time it was an ordinary home of a hard working immigrant family, the Bottos. The Botto House was declared a national historic landmark in 1982. It became the headquarters for the American Labor Museum in 1983, the first of its kind in the nation. Includes interviews with Bunny Kuiken, granddaughter of Petro Botto, and Sol Stetin, a former president of the Textile Workers Union of America and a founder of the museum. Narrated by Barry Morganstern.
