My Grandpa grew up in Detroit in the 1920s & 1930s. One of his earliest childhood memories: Attending the funeral of 2 union organizers. Until the end of his life, he remembered the sight of the men lying in their coffins, and the still-visible bullet holes in their heads. Because that's how Capital reacted when Labor tried to assert itself. History Threads

At that time, when Chicago was still a cow town, a man walking the streets risked being shot by Chicago police or imprisoned by US Troops stationed at Ft. Sheridan simply for union involvement. He fled to Kansas City for a few years, met my great grandmother, and started a family before he was able to move back to Chicago and eventually purchase a home in the Chicago Bridgeport neighborhood.
