“WILSONVILLE, ILL., May 25 (1937) — Bearing banners, grade school students of Wilsonville, today marched from the building and paraded through streets and to the mine near their city where more than 350 men are underground in a sit-down strike. ” newspaper unknown. Photo from http://hinton-gen.com/
This week marks the 78th anniversary the Wilsonville Sitdown Strike which occurred in May, 1937. I’ve written on that strike here and here.
Here’s the complete image courtesy of Wayne Hinton and his website, http://hinton-gen.com/
I hope to learn which newspaper published this image during the strike.
