This Year We Will Honor and Remember the: Ipswich Millworkers Strike of 1913
Housing is a Human Right!
In 1913, striving for better working conditions and a stronger livelihood, Ipswich Mills’ largely immigrant workforce unionized and went on strike. Join us in October and learn about how this group contributed to the cultural diversity of Ipswich, and how their story is similar to what many families search for today!
Walk/Run Start Time: 11:00AM (Event day registration will open at 9:45AM)
