Joe Hill, a Swedish-American labor activist and songwriter, was a key figure in the Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) and became a martyr for labor rights. Arrested in 1914 for murder, his conviction sparked wide protests. Executed in 1915, his songs and legacy inspire ongoing labor activism and cultural expression.

The Industrial Workers of the World (IWW), founded in 1905, championed radical labor rights against the conservative American Federation of Labor. Known as “Wobblies,” they aimed to unite all workers under “One Big Union.” Despite severe repression, their cultural impact and legacy of revolutionary activism continue to inspire modern labor movements.
