On this day, 19 August 1909, the first edition of the revolutionary Industrial Workers of the World union’s ‘Little Red Songbook’ was published in the US. Spreading faster than many radical texts, these songs were sung by thousands on picket lines across the country in the coming years, including perhaps the most famous, Solidarity Forever.
We are very happy to make available a book in our online store compiling loads of IWW songs. Proceeds help fund our work: https://shop.workingclasshistory.com/collections/books/products/the-big-red-songbook-250-iww-songs https://www.facebook.com/workingclasshistory/photos/a.296224173896073/1191561871028961/?type=3
