Abstract:

Labor strife during the pre-Depression era was celebrated by contemporary artists through literature, song, and plays. While not as preserved or remembered as literature and song, plays are an important artistic medium for remembering labor strife such as the 1929 Loray Mill Strike in Gastonia, NC. Script details for two such plays, Strike! and Strike Song have recently surfaced as current interest has increased.
