(5762) Colorado Coal Strike, Violence, Walsenburg, 1928

Walsenburg strikers stand in front of their I.W.W. Hall one hour after a shooting occurred.

Back of the photograph reads: “The single story structure is where the shooting took place and where the mass meetings were held. The other building houses the strike committee meetings in the upper floor. The soup kitchen in the lower floor. The stairway leading to the upper floor was riddled with bullets also.”
