Kelley's Army

In winter of 1914 a group of 75,000 migratory laborers organized a march to the state capitol. They were organized by General Kelley and they camped outside the capitol but again they faced harsh opposition which lead to violence and they disassembled. The workers lobbied tirelessly and we can connect to how far we’ve come by thinking about today’s employment laws.
