DESCRIPTION:There are 2 parts to this evening's LaborFest event:\n(1) Reading and 
 presentation by Margaret Cooley \nMargaret went to Ireland and found the 
 story of her family a portrait of working class oppression. Hear through 
 the personal story of one family’s struggle to hold onto their land 
 tenancy, how the potato economy forced the immigration of the tenant 
 workers of Ireland to make way for capitalist enterprise.\n(2) Video: 
 "Mother Jones: The Most Dangerous Woman in America" by Rosemary Feurer, 
 Laura Vasquez \nMother Jones, one of the most famous Irish born labor 
 activists in the US had a brutal life. Her 5 children died in a yellow 
 fever epidemic in Memphis, Tennessee. She then moved to Chicago and during 
 the Chicago fire she lost her home, shop and all her belongings. In her 
 late 50’s she began to struggle for workers rights with the United Mine 
 Workers of America (UMWA) and helped organize strikes and marches including 
 marches to protest child labor.  This powerful video tells her story and 
 the fight for rank and file power that she stood for. Rose will also 
 discuss her new book Radical Unionism In the Midwest 1900-1950.\n
