Bread and Roses

The 1912 Lawrence Textile Strike

Bain News Service, Publisher. Guarding Approach to Mills, Lawrence, Mass., 1/12/1912. https://www.loc.gov/item/2014690135/.


As we come marching, marching in the beauty of the day,
A million darkened kitchens, a thousand mill lofts gray,
Are touched with all the radiance that a sudden sun discloses,
For the people hear us singing: “Bread and roses! Bread and roses!”

(from Bread and Roses by James Oppenheim)
