The Rabble Rousing: Mary Harris Jones

Presenter: Judith Black

This first person interpretive presentation brings alive our nation’s most notorious and effective labor and union organizer, Mary Harris Jones (1830-1930). Mother Jones, as the working people called her, traveled though-out this nation, with nothing more than a small satchel on her back and organized mill and mine workers to stand up for “Their god given rights.”  As a female, radical, and labor organizer she broke every mold of her era and laid the groundwork for a workers movement that would effect this nation profoundly for the next seven decades.
