Text flyer with single image. Text: Emil and Kathleen Sick Lecture. Red Harbor: Radical Workers and Community Struggle in the Pacific Northwest. March 3rd 3:30pm. Allen Auditorium. Allen Library North. Please join us for a talk by the historian Aaron Goings as he discusses his recently published book Red Harbor: Radical Workers and Community Struggle in the Pacific Northwest. In the book, Goings resurrects the forgotten history of lumber workers in Grays Harbor, a bastion of labor radicalism, examining the conflict as workers faced down an alliance of employers, police, and violent antiradicals, including the Ku Klux Klan. He goes beyond these clashes to illuminate the vital roles of families, immigrants, and working-class women in the labor movement, revealing how people fought not only for labor rights but also for the good of their communities.
