Last Week’s Quiz: IWW songwriter Ralph Chaplin finished writing "Solidarity Forever" in 1915 for a hunger march in Chicago led by radical labor organizer and anarchist Lucy Parsons; he’d begun writing it in 1914 during a miner’s strike in Huntington, WV. The first verse: When the union's inspiration through the workers' blood shall run, There can be no power greater anywhere beneath the sun; Yet what force on earth is weaker than the feeble strength of one, But the union makes us strong. Congrats to Mary Baker of the Minnesota Association of Public Employees in Minneapolis, MN, this week’s quiz winner, drawn at random from those answering correctly. Your labor music CD is on the way!
