About the channel

Forgotten Labor uncovers the real stories behind America's greatest construction projects — told through the eyes of the workers who made them possible. From the enslaved men who built the U.S. Capitol, to the Chinese laborers who blasted through the Sierra Nevada, to the convicts who never saw a paycheck — these are the people history left out. Every video is fully researched and fact-checked. No myths. No filler. Just the story they never told you. New video every week. Subscribe to Forgotten Labor.
