“To Supply the Entire World with Plenty”: Stories From New Hampshire’s Labor History

Storyteller and former World Fellowship Center Co-Director Andy Davis dramatizes little known tales of the struggles of the Granite State’s working people, from the strike of the Cocheco “mill girls” in 1828, to the 1920 Palmer Raids in which hundreds of accused Communists were rounded up in 8 NH towns, to the McCarthy Era wave of persecution. Through stories drawn from individual lives, Andy will share tales of courage and reflect on how this history lives on today. Presented as part of Protest Fest 2023.  This project was made possible with support from New Hampshire Humanities, in partnership with the National Endowment for the Humanities.
