Millions of workers spoke out demanding that Joe Hill not be killed before his wrongful execution on this day 110 years ago. The movement to spare him had been massive.
Joe Hill Was Killed for Singing Labor’s Song
One hundred seven years ago today, the labor troubadour Joe Hill was executed by a Utah firing squad for a crime he almost certainly didn’t commit. His real crime: singing and agitating on behalf of the working class.
