Description

Labor History Today: In our first segment, we honor Dolores Huerta, the pioneering organizer and United Farm Workers co-founder who died this week at 96. Then, how did “Solidarity Forever” become labor’s enduring anthem? From the West Virginia Mine Wars Museum’s Mine Wars Forum podcast, historian and museum co-founder Catherine Venable Moore traces Ralph Chaplin’s song to West Virginia’s Paint Creek–Cabin Creek strike. Along the way: socialist newspapers, union-busting violence, and the work of building solidarity across differences. Hosted by Chris Garlock, produced by the Labor Heritage Foundation and the Kalmanovitz Initiative for Labor and the Working Poor.
