Paperback, 96 Pages: Working-Class Heroes is a powerful collection of songs, stories, and images that proves working people have always fought back—often through music—against the systems that exploit them. Featuring songwriters like Joe Hill, Sarah Ogan Gunning, Aunt Molly Jackson, and others, this treasury of early 20th-century labor songs highlights how ordinary people, not elite intellectuals, created political music rooted in lived struggle. With lyrics born from mine shafts, textile mills, hunger, and resistance, these songs remain painfully relevant today—speaking to inequality, fascism, and war—reminding us that courage, solidarity, and collective action are timeless.
