She was imprisoned in a little house in my town, now used as the town post office. This is the same woman who organized The Children's Crusade, bringing the issue of child labor to public attention. <br /><br />Another note -- Alderson Women's Prison, unfortunately, is also in WV. <br /><br />I'm so glad you included the Joan Baez -- the minute I started to read it, I thought of her songs from the late 60s and early 70s.Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12003379181294550035noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4821243838031243709.post-4894529268931626432009-08-06T13:38:59.203-07:002009-08-06T13:38:59.203-07:00oh, thank you SO much for bringing this to be shar...oh, thank you SO much for bringing this to be shared with us all - it is especially fitting that i read it today as i just posted the confirmation of sotomayor over at one of my blogs - great article! takes me back to my sociology academia/politically active days - very refreshing!GYPSYWOMANhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03042621041213415958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4821243838031243709.post-2284353307897406632009-08-06T07:23:05.926-07:002009-08-06T07:23:05.926-07:00I know so little about the history of the American...I know so little about the history of the American labour and socialist movement, this post is therefore so informative.
