"There is Power in a Union"—New monument to Labor Organizer Joe Hill unveiled in Salt Lake City's Sugar House Park
Nearly 108 years after Joe Hill’s execution, a new historical marker about the famous labor organizer has been dedicated in Sugar House Park. An unveiling ceremony was held Saturday, hosted by the Central Utah Federation of Labor/AFL-CIO.
The marker “will stand as a symbol of his enduring spirit and will serve as a reminder of the power of collective action,” its organizers say.
