Battle of Blair Mountain: The War on American Workers
Manage episode 487743086 series 2898095
In 1921, over 10,000 coal miners marched through the mountains of West Virginia with rifles, pistols, and dynamite. They dug trenches, wore uniforms, and exchanged gunfire with machine-gun nests and private planes dropping homemade bombs. It was the largest labor uprising in American history — and the largest domestic conflict since the Civil War. This week, we’re telling the story of the forgotten war for workers' rights. Then we play the quiz game with Comedy Magician and Mind-Noodler, Matt Donnelly!
