Remembering Ludlow
Colorado’s coalfields were too often also killing fields during the country’s deadliest labor conflicts at the turn of the last century. Corporate interests clashed with laborers who wanted to regain control of their working conditions, leading to violent clashes—some of the deadliest in the country, including the 1914 Ludlow and 1927 Columbine Massacres. As we honor the April 20 anniversary of the Ludlow tragedy, this classic episode of Lost Highways takes a look at Mother Jones and her role in the massive strike and its explosive conclusion. In addition, the recent publication A Workplace of Their Own presents new scholarship around historical efforts to reform such industrial conflicts, analyzing the actions leading up to these escalations and their aftermath.
12 Tablecloths
Chapter three in the series of thought-provoking art installations by Chloé Duplessis, 12 Tablecloths opens this Saturday at the Fort Garland Museum & Cultural Center. Each installation is a site-specific reflection of the significance of domestic service within that location, and in this iteration, Duplessis also honors the contributions of the Black women who once worked at the fort and other military outposts throughout the West during the Civil War era. Come and experience it for yourself. Reserve your space today for the April 18 opening of this special exhibition.
