Say, brave boys, say, the star that rose in Bethlehem has crossed the world,
it has risen here; see it slowly breaking through the clouds.
The Star of Bethlehem will usher in the new day and new time and new philosophy-
and if you are only true you will be free.
-Mother Jones

WE NEVER FORGET: December 24, 1913 - The Italian Hall Massacre, Calumet, Michigan

Submitted by JayRaye on Thu, 12/24/2015 - 12:58pm

Up above the strikers stood Annie Clemenc,
girl leader of the miners.
She was not the usual militant Annie Clemenc.
She was saying a prayer for the children.

Christmas Eve December 24, 2015

This morning I woke up thinking about the Italian Hall Massacre. I thought of Annie Clemenc and I remembered the miners and their families who preserved through the great Michigan Copper Strike of 1913-14.

Let us always honor their sacrifice and NEVER FORGET:

Italian Hall Memorial, Calumet, Michigan
