DESCRIPTION:The River Ran Red (58 min.) 2012 \n By Steffi Domike & Nicole Fauteux \n 
 The violence that erupted at Carnegie Steel’s giant Homestead mill near 
 Pittsburgh on July 6, 1892, caused a congressional investigation and trials 
 for treason, motivated a nearly successful assassination attempt on Frick, 
 contributed to the defeat of President Benjamin Harrison for a second term, 
 and changed the course of the American labor movement. \n\n This film is a 
 ripping account of the summer of 1892, in which a bitter conflict erupted 
 at the Carnegie Works in Homestead, Pennsylvania. The nation’s largest 
 steel maker took on its most militant labor union, with devastating 
 consequences for American workers. Andrew Carnegie and Henry Clay Frick 
 head a fascinating cast of characters, which includes 300 armed Pinkerton 
 guards and the would-be anarchist assassin, Alexander Berkman. This 
 American tragedy still resonates 125 years later, especially in communities 
 hard hit by the decline of heavy industry and labor’s diminishing clout.

 Schools \nThe struggle to defend working people and our unions requires a 
 real knowledge of history. We need to know where we come from and the 
 lessons of the past to understand our present issues. \n Labor In The 
 Schools has been a project of the California Federation of Teachers CFT to 
 bring labor education into the schools and to support the idea that working 
 class history is critical for all people.\nBill Morgan who is a member of 
 the statewide CFT committee will talk about the efforts of the union to 
 build support for labor education in the schools and what all unionists and 
 working people can do to help support labor 
 education.\nhttp://cft.org/about-cft/committees/labor-in-the-schools-committee.html\nSee
