This documentary film will examine the "1913 Massacre" in Calumet, MIchigan, an event that left 73 children dead and served as the inspiration for a Woody Guthrie song with the above title. Tied to labor struggles in the area, the event also had ties to Chicago's labor movement. The film will review that connection, the event 's continuing legacy, and the larger meaning which it had and has for towns and regions going through deindustrialization.Grant Date:
