The Brookwood Labor College, 1920-1938, was a two year residential school for workers, affiliated with the American Labor Education Service and held at Katonah, N.Y.
The faculty, organized as the Brookwood Labor College (Local 189 of the American Federation of Teachers, American Federation of Labor) consisted of executives and specialists from various unions, government agencies, and faculty of universities and colleges. The curriculum included courses in journalism, English, economics, science, dramatics, and various labor related issues and topics.
