Knights of Labor was created in 1869.
The leader of the Knights of Labor was Terence V. Powderly, who served as Grand Master Workman from 1879 to 1893. Under his leadership, the organization sought to unite all workers, regardless of skill level, and advocated for better working conditions, including the eight-hour workday. The Knights of Labor aimed to promote social reform and labor rights during the late 19th century.
The full name for the Knights of Labor is the "Noble and Holy Order of the Knights of Labor". It was shortened to make it easier to say and to remember.
