The Ludlow Massacre:
Examining Labor Relations through Primary Sources

This special professional development series for teachers of grades 4-12 will focus on the 100th anniversary of the Ludlow Massacre by using newspapers and primary sources to examine the event from multiple points of view. Through exploration of the 1914 incident, participants will learn to critically evaluate the influences of a variety of media and develop informed ideas about the role of immigration, multiculturalism, unions and labor relations during the time of Ludlow and compare it with our society today.
