Lucy Parsons Part 1 of 3 ~ The Alexander Articles

Join Tim and Derek to discuss the life of America’s most notorious revolutionary, the dynamite-obsessed anarchist Lucy Parsons. We explore the world of 19th century America, from the Klan-ridden racial violence of Reconstruction Texas to the poverty and depredation of Gilded Age Chicago, and run down Lucy and her husband Albert’s journey from progressive reformers to insurrectionary radicals, as well as the struggles of the Chicago labor movement against the city’s unwavering class of industrialists hell-bent on stamping out the embers of revolution anywhere they can be found. #history #podcast #drunkhistory #alexandersocietypod #drinking  #todayifoundout #civil rights #LucyParsons #Labor Movement
