In this week's episode, The Mystics are digging deep into the history of Ludlow, Colorado, a historic mining town with a dark past ⚒️ We're diving into the story of the Ludlow Massacre, where a private militia, under the influence of the Rockefeller-owned Colorado Fuel and Iron Company, brutally attacked striking miners and their families, resulting in the tragic deaths of 25 men, women, and children 🕊️ You know The Mysties won't let the Rockefellers off the hook! With our trademark light-hearted approach, we'll be serving up a hefty dose of righteous indignation towards the rich and powerful who treated their workers like expendable tools 😡You'll learn about the harsh working conditions, the struggle for union rights, and the resilience of the miners and their families in the face of such terrible adversity. So, buckle up for a wild ride through Colorado's tumultuous labor history, and get ready to laugh, cry, and maybe even shake your fist at the greed and cruelty of the Gilded Age's elite. This is one history lesson you won't want to miss! 🏛️
