When:

Short story:

The 1934 Textile Workers Strike begins in the USA. The largest strike in American labour history at the time, it will last for 22 days, and will involve as many as half a million textile workers from New England, the Mid-Atlantic states and the Southern states. The song Winnsboro Cotton Mill Blues will be inspired by the strike, and is perhaps best-known in versions by Lead Belly and Pete Seeger.
