- **Event Name**: Docs & Dialogue: Memorial Day Massacre: Workers Die, Film Buried (Granville Branch)
- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 19 May, 2026 at 01:00 pm (-05:00)
- **Event Description**: The documentary explores a shameful and largely forgotten chapter in American labor and media history, one whose relevance has only grown as union organizing regains momentum after decades of union-busting and the decline of American manufacturing. 

By reckoning honestly with the 1937 Chicago tragedy, when police killed striking workers and the truth was deliberately obscured, the film illuminates enduring patterns of power: how corporations, the press, and law enforcement can align to suppress worker demands. Nearly a century later, the lessons of the Memorial Day Massacre remain urgent, offering insight into the forces that continue to shape labor struggles in the United States today. 

The film is 33 minutes, not rated, and made possible through Kanopy. The program is free and open to the public.
