EDITORS COMMENTS
This powerful and haunting image captures a pivotal moment in American history - the beginning of the Great Railroad Strike of 1877. The engraving depicts the Sixth Maryland militia firing into a hostile crowd in Baltimore on July 20, resulting in the tragic deaths of twelve individuals. The scene is filled with tension and aggression as the strikers, representing the working class movement, rally against their adverse conditions. Anger radiates from both sides, with police officers and militiamen confronting protesters who are demanding better working conditions and fair treatment. The engraving serves as a stark reminder of the struggles faced by workers during this time period. It symbolizes not only their fight for improved labor rights but also highlights the growing power of labor unions in America. In this image, we witness an intense clash between those seeking change and those tasked with maintaining order. It encapsulates the deep divide between workers and state authorities during this era. As we reflect on this historical event through this contemporary engraving, it reminds us to appreciate how far we have come in terms of worker's rights while acknowledging that there is still work to be done to ensure fairness and equality for all members of society.
