In July 1917, over a thousand men were rounded up at gunpoint, loaded onto cattle cars, and dumped in the middle of the New Mexico desert with no food, no water, and no way home. This wasn't a scene from a dystopian novel. This actually happened in Bisbee, Arizona, and most people have never heard about it.
The copper miners of Bisbee had simple, reasonable demands. Safer working conditions. An end to discrimination against foreign and minority workers. Basic human dignity on the job. The mining companies responded by unleashing two thousand armed vigilantes on the town.
What followed was one of the most shocking and illegal acts of corporate-backed violence in American history. Men were marched at gunpoint to a baseball park, crammed into filthy livestock cars, and hauled two hundred miles through the blazing desert heat over sixteen hours with nothing to eat or drink. When the train finally stopped, they were thrown off in the middle of nowhere and told that returning to Bisbee meant death.
This is the story of the Bisbee Deportation, a dark chapter that powerful interests have spent over a century trying to keep buried.
If you think labor history has nothing to do with the world we live in today, this story might change your mind.
Watch until the end. Share this with someone who needs to hear it. History like this deserves to be remembered.
