The High School Football Huddle
Happy Labor Day everyone!
For those of you who don't know, the first Labor Day was celebrated on September 5, 1882 in New York City by the Knights of Labor. Congress made it a national holiday in 1894.
The holiday itself is devoted to the recognition of working people's contributions to society. So with that in mind, I share a great story from the Chicago Tribune today about Proviso East High School's head football coach Aaron Peppers, who's full-time job is a police officer in Maywood.
Peppers should be saluted on this Labor Day for trying to make a difference in a community that has its share of struggles.
