If mentioned at all in the 11/11/1919 attack on the Wobblies Centralia storefront the Legionaries attack the previous spring is characterized as beatings. Wobblies were hot tarred and feathered in that attack. Was the violence of the Wobblies excessive if they expected another tar and feathering?
Unlike many other lecturers, who look like they are just to speaking the camera this year (2020), Professor Faulkner still seems like he's feeding off an audience's energy. LOL Monty Python reference.
My Great Grandfather and his family were run out of Mississippi due to his participation in the joint White & Black Unionizing of tenant / sharecropper farmers. My Grandma spoke of the late night meetings between by both Whites & Blacks. Guess the unity of farming poor (beyond color) scared the powers to be. Any how. This is why my folks gave up everything. Started their migration north. Maternal side up the Western side of the Mississippi River.
I was not able to watch when this live- streamed. I would love to read Dr. Faulkner's take on or if The Spanish Influenza influenced people's fear- perhaps stoking The Red Scare (I know- presentism)?
One of the very best speakers about WW1. Very much appreciated.
What a great speaker....to present so well in an empty room too!
Great presentation with PowerPoint. I enjoyed it
The woman introducing the speaker is also very polished. Effort and preparation on the part of her and the main speaker are much appreciated!
Fantastic talk. Like the Professor, I completely missed this period in my high school history course. Five star lecture.
You didn't "miss" it, they didn't teach it!😅
I knew practically nothing about these events in our history. Very interesting lecture!
Very informative. Grants a perspective difficult to otherwise attain. Liked and shared.
I didn't know any of this, very interesting.
Thank you Mr. Bolshevik.
Thank you for the great video!! Well done. Do we have more information on the Cleveland riots in 1919?

Love Dr. Faulkner!

Faulkner is a talented lecturer. I'd love to have a scotch with him and discuss how the darn War started in the first place.
I never thought I'd hear the closest city to me being mentioned let alone find out "will it play in Peoria" is an old American saying lol
This is a great lecture about a very relevant period. A big thank you to Shawn and to the Museum.
Really great lecture. I always tell people that the US has always been bat sh*t crazy intermittently
6:15 so race, immigration, ideology but no mention of social class. Classic American prolephobia.
Prolephobia?
Did they starve millions of workers to death or something like the Soviets did?
