Massacre at Lattimer - a podcast by Steve Gilly, Rod Mullins

On September 10, 1897, more than a dozen coal miners, mainly eastern European immigrants, were shot and killed by police while on strike at the Lattimer mine in Hazelton, Pennsylvania.  This was a turning point in the UMW's efforts to organize the coal fields of northern Appalachia and today we tell that story.
