Celebrating the Centennial of the Bread & Roses Strike

The 100th Anniversary of the Great Lawrence Strike of 1912, popularly referred to as the Bread & Roses Strike, will be celebrated all year long in music, lectures, performances, and readings.

  • Did you know that half the workers in the mills in Lawrence in 1912 were women and children?
  • Did you know that the strike began when Polish women walked off the job in the Everett mill in Lawrence?
