12.01.2022 On this day, 19 November 1915, Joe Hill, Swedish-American Industrial Workers of the World union member and songwriter was executed by firing squad for a murder ...he did not commit. During his life, Hill wrote many songs such as 'There is Power in a Union', 'Casey Jones - the Union Scab' and 'The Preacher and the Slave' (where the saying 'pie in the sky' comes from). In his final letter to IWW leader Bill Haywood he wrote: "Goodbye Bill. I die like a true blue rebel. Don't waste any time in mourning. Organize." This is a short history of the events: https://libcom.org/history/1915-the-murder-of-joe-hill And this is our podcast episode about the IWW at this time: https://workingclasshistory.com//wch-e6-the-industrial-wo/ See more
