The Herrin Massacre

This episode will look at the events that occurred over 2 days in June of 1922.  Union workers, strike-breakers and guards came into conflict.  As a mob mentality took over men who were normally peaceful, 24 men would pay the price with their lives, leaving communities devastated and the nation in shock.
