SUMMARY:Wage-Slaves and Radicals: Writing a People's History of the 1913 - 14 Michigan Copper Strike
DESCRIPTION:
 Aaron Goings, St. Martins University, and Gary 
 Kaunonen, Michigan Technological University\n
 \n
 The 
 1913-1914 Michigan Copper Strike in one 
 of the most important events in the history 
 of working people and their unions in Michigan, 
 and arguably misunderstood in its national 
 importance more generally. In this talk based 
 on their forthcoming book, Aaron Goings and 
 Gary Kaunonen will paint a working-class history 
 of the strike, presenting valuable new 
 information and perspectives which enrich our 
 understanding of the conflict from the bottom 
 up. Their work is especially rich in placing 
 Italian Hall, before and after the Christmas 
 Eve tragedy where over 70 people -- mostly 
 children -- perished after a false cry of "fire," 
 into its broader significance to workers, 
 managers and the wider Copper Country region.
