Organize! Miners at the Battle of Blair Mountain · Pro-Labor Image

Pro-Labor Image

Title: Pro-Labor Image
Creator: William D. Maywood
Date: 1918
Description: A piece of pro-labor propaganda. Printed images like these were used to sway hearts and minds in the battle for workers' rights. A simple image like this invokes the staggering levels of complexity in these movements- requiring printers, artists, distributors, and whole layers of dedicated workers working together.
