"We hold history in our hands" Joe Hill
Joe Hill was an immigrant, songwriter, dreamer, activist and staunch union supporter of the Industrial Workers of the World, in the early 1900s. He became victim to the "the gilded age's" rabid anti-union sentiment in the early 1900's and a judicial frame-up in Utah. Despite the tireless work of supporters such as labor activists Elizabeth Gurley Flynn and huge national opposition to his sentencing, including a plea by President Woodrow Wilson, he was executed by firing squad in Utah in November of 1915.
This story, in words and music, shows us the joy, energy and passion of Joe Hill - his life, love and ultimate demise. And shares his words "We hold history in our hands". Echoing one hundred years later some of the same sounds and struggles that we face today.
