| 摘要註: |
It was one of the most remarkable events in the modern movement for American democracy, yet few know anything about it. Dubbed the Memorial Day "Massacre," it saw the Chicago police shoot and kill 10 demonstrators and beat dozens as they tried to picket in front of the Republic Steel Plant in South Chicago. The protest grew out of the 1937 "Little Steel" strike, one of the most fractious labor disputes in the nation's history. It was the culmination of a movement for industrial democracy that had its origins in the mills and the mines of Gilded Age America. |
