I love Mother Jones,I learned a lot about her and who she was and the forming of the UMW union from reading a few of Kevin Corleys books.She was an extraordinary strong human being,and most certainly an Earth angel.Because of her and the bravery,bloody battles and sacrifice of all those people who stood their ground wanting a better life unions were formed,God bless them.It was a start to better working conditions,living conditions,and a better life for all the future genrtatipns.I really enjoyed this read,anyone who hasn't heard of Mother Jones and all her boys and their families really need to read this and learn who she was,she was extrordinary..Thank you for posting this,it was excellent!Amy Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15375503525216054480noreply@blogger.com
