Description

List for historians, working folk, artists, labor activists interested in preserving the memory of the Ludlow Massacre of 1914 in Colorado. Explore the specific history of the incident, discuss issues related to the archeological dig, and to restoring the monument after recent vandalism. Discuss the history of struggle and sacrifice by working folk. Discuss other memorials and sculptures that commemorate those struggles. Minor focus on the music, art or poetry celebrating those struggles.

This group will focus on the areas in which working folk and their history intersect. In other words, this list will necessarily discuss unions in a historical context, but will focus more on union history and how it relates to the struggle of working folk than on modern union efforts.

Participants can expect occasional references to capitalist abuses and exploitation, and some discussion of how the history of working folk relates to current struggles, but union proselytizing or marxist ideology will be discouraged on the list, and advocates will be asked to instead link to external resources.

The Ludlow Monument is maintained by the United Mine Workers of America. Although we support their efforts to protect and educate about the Ludlow Massacre legacy, this list is not in any way affiliated with their organization.
