Joe Hill Road Show:<\/h2>\n

A Musical History of Joe Hill and the Early Labor Movement<\/h2>\n

Wednesday, March 27, 2019, 6:00-7:30 pm<\/h3>\n

UTC Multicultural Center<\/h3>\n

Free and open to the public<\/h3>\n
\n

UTC\u2019s Department of History, the Tennessee Arts Commission, the Chattanooga Area Labor Council, and the United Campus Workers are pleased to bring the acclaimed multimedia \u201cJoe Hill Road Show: A Musical History of Joe Hill and the Early Labor Movement\u201d to UTC\u2019s Multicultural Center for a free and public performance on Wednesday, March 27th<\/sup>\u00a0from 6:00-7:30pm. Light refreshments will be served.<\/p>\n

Precursor to Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Bob Dylan, and Bruce Springsteen, Joe Hill was an early twentieth-century songwriter and active member of the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), or Wobblies. A Swedish immigrant and outspoken labor activist, Hill was framed for two murders and executed by a firing squad in Salt Lake City, Utah, in 1915. According to an event press release, \u201cThe case drew international attention and appeals for clemency from U.S. President Woodrow Wilson, Helen Keller, the Swedish ambassador, the American Federation of Labor, and many others. After his execution, Hill became a labor icon.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>The Nashville-based Shelby Bottom Duo, consisting of acoustic folk artists Michael August and Nell Levin (https:\/\/www.shelbysong.com\/<\/a>,\u00a0https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/shelbybottomduo)<\/a>, created this entertaining and educational performance to highlight a \u201cvital slice of labor history with a wide range of people so that we can all better understand why the revolutionary creativity of Joe Hill and the Wobblies is still relevant.\u201d This event will include a live concert of Joe Hill songs, a slideshow of historical images, and information about Hill\u2019s life, early labor struggles, and the influence of the IWW\u2019s innovative organizing strategies on labor and other movements today. This one-hour performance will be followed by a discussion with the Shelby Bottom Duo about art, music, labor history, and activism. The \u201cJoe Hill Road Show\u201d CD will be available for purchase.<\/p>\n

With support from the Tennessee Arts Commission, Humanities Tennessee, Metro Nashville Arts Commission, and Puffin Foundation, the Shelby Bottom Duo has performed the \u201cJoe Hill Road Show\u201d on over twenty occasions, including at Vanderbilt University, the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, Sewanee, Middle Tennessee State, Austin Peay, Tennessee State, and the University of Memphis.<\/p>\n

The Multicultural Center is located on the third floor of UTC\u2019s University Center (642 E. 5th<\/sup>\u00a0Street).
