Over the first three decades of the 20th century, Minneapolis was the most notorious “open shop” city in the country. An employers’ organization (the “Citizens’ Alliance”) leveraged the power of banks, manufacturers, and local government to resist workers’ attempts to unionize. In February 1934 the city’s truck drivers and coal yard workers organized and struck their industry, winning union recognition in a week.
Some folks from Remember 1934 got together Sunday to see the new Labor Mural in the Minneapolis. warehouse district. In addition to honoring strikers from 1934, it includes other important figures from Minneapolis labor and civil rights history.
Thanks to Drew Peterson and Juxtaposition Arts for this important piece.

Here’s a link to JXTA Arts Facebook Post. It should work even for those that don’t have an account.
Juxtaposition Arts is a youth arts program in Minneapolis. They’re installing a mural on the Ths Hall Loft Flats in The North Loop. (608 N 3rd St). Their Post on Facebook was a little coy as to the subject, but this photo, location, and the fact that we’re sharing it are huge clues. It should be complete in early October.
