Labor History Today: Solidarity Has A Long Memory
Solidarity Has a Long Memory
On Labor History Today: A Virginia road and a century-old song reveal how workers carry solidarity across generations.
Anthony Dominiczak of the Labor Memory Project takes us along Gravel Lick Road in Castlewood, Virginia, where a family memorial and an abandoned coal plant connect the Harlan County Coal War, the Pittston strike and a more recent fight over a landfill.
Then, marking Joe Hill’s 147th birthday, we share an episode from Solidarity Works, the United Steelworkers podcast. Chelsea Ingle explores the immigrant worker, IWW organizer and songwriter whose songs still speak to working people today.
Plus, Rick Smith, with Labor History in 2:00.
Hosted by Chris Garlock. Labor History Today is produced by the Labor Heritage Foundation and the Kalmanovitz Initiative for Labor and the Working Poor.
