Listen "Red Bandanas and Solidarity"
Episode Synopsis
This week on Labor History Today: From the 2025 Camp Solidarity, West Virginia Mine Wars Museum co-founder Wilma Steele unpacks the red bandana—tracing its paisley roots from Persia to Appalachia—and how a scrap of cloth became labor’s emblem of courage, memory, and solidarity.
And, on Labor History in 2:00: The Uprising of the 20,000.
