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.

LHF Power Hour


On this week’s Labor Heritage Power Hour: Chris Garlock sits down with Strike While the Needle is Hot: A Discography of Workers’ Revolt authors Josh MacPhee and Kennedy Block to spin and unpack strike records from the ’60s–’80s—including the rousing 1978 EP “Ford Workers on Strike.” A fast-moving tour of worker-made music and how vinyl captured picket lines, speeches, and solidarity anthems. 

When Workers Tell Their Own Stories
This week on Labor History Today, we trace a line from repression to resistance—from the 1917 Tom Mooney trial to today’s worker-led storytelling at the Working Class Literature Festival in Italy—closing with the Sago Mine disaster and a reminder that labor history helps us imagine a better future.
