In 1881, Black laundresses in Atlanta led a strike weeks before the International Cotton Exposition came to town, demanding compensation of $1 per dozen pounds of laundry. The Atlanta Washerwomen’s Strike of 1881 was the first successful interracial, organized labor strike of the post-Civil War era. The Wash by Kelundra Smith offers an intimate and often funny portrait at the ordinary women who initiated and led the strike, transforming themselves from workers to fighters. Woodie King, Jr.'s New Federal Theatre presents the play's New York premiere. Awoye Timpo directs.
