Jeremy McNaughton 📣️🍉️ on Nostr: Joe Hill's ashes were put into hundreds of envelopes that were mailed to IWW chapters ...
Joe Hill's ashes were put into hundreds of envelopes that were mailed to IWW chapters in the US and around the world.
One envelope was confiscated by the Post Office, then discovered in 1988.
Hill's trial, defence, and execution were major galvanizing moments. His funeral was attended by tens of thousands.
One of his songs, The Preacher and the Slave, is where the phrase "pie in the sky" comes from.
