Abstract

Explore the relationship between labor and work songs and unionizing efforts in America from the industrial revolution to the present! How did song influence the formation of unions? What did the miners in Butte, Montana sing about, and how do we remember these songs today? In this presentation you’ll learn about the popular work songs sung in America, the roots of some of these songs, often stemming from unexpected places, and the role they played in the labor industry at the time.
