Singer, songwriter Patrick Dodd composed this piece for |
|
the Wobbly Free Speech Memorial, a campaign to honor the |
|
actions of IWW workers over one hundred years ago. On |
|
February 16, 1911, more than a hundred members of the IWW |
|
left Portland on freight trains bound for Fresno, |
|
California to join in solidarity with striking workers. |
|
The group consisted of young working men willing to die |
|
for free speech. They risked hostile gunfire and assault |
|
by strike breakers. After being kicked out of the box |
|
cars in Ashland, nearly a hundred Wobblies made the |
|
hazardous trek south by foot through the snow-covered |
|
Siskiyous. By the end of their trek they had walked |
|
roughly 150 miles across the frozen Siskiyous. |
