An American flag flies through the wind. Families in a Prosper ISD neighborhood placed flags in front of their homes in honor of workers celebrated on Labor Day. This Labor Day has especially highlighted essential workers and those in healthcare. According to History.com the holiday was created by the labor movement in the late 19th century and became a federal holiday in 1894.
