Homestead Strike Reimagined; Made by Labour
This week on the Labor Heritage Power Hour, cultural critic Kathleen Newman takes us inside The Hidden Shift, a dramatic two-screen film installation inspired by the 1892 Homestead Strike—complete with a Pinkerton, a suspected murder, and questions of loyalty and solidarity. Historian Martin Wright (Made by Labour) joins us for a conversation on working-class history and memory. Plus, the latest labor arts news—including organizing wins across museums, bookstores, animation studios, and the West Virginia Mine Wars Museum—and a new Labor History in 2 on the founding of Britain’s Independent Labour Party.
