Bread and Roses
Bread and Roses: Mills, Migrants, and the Struggle for the American Dream | Bruce Watson
2 posts | 1 read | 2 to read
On January 12, 1912, an army of textile workers stormed out of the mills in Lawrence, Massachusetts, commencing what has since become known as the "Bread and Roses" strike. Based on newspaper accounts, magazine reportage, and oral histories, Watson reconstructs a Dickensian drama involving thousands of parading strikers from fifty-one nations, unforgettable acts of cruelty, and even a protracted murder trial that tested the boundaries of free speech. A rousing look at a seminal and overlooked chapter of the past, Bread and Roses is indispensable reading.

There was no location tag, but this is an adorable bookstore/cafe with a social justice theme in Hyannis MA. Highly recommend if you‘re in the area!
