Description: The Ludlow Memorial in Colorado commemorates a significant event in American labor history known as the Ludlow Massacre. On April 20, 1914, the Colorado National Guard attacked striking coal miners and their families who were living in a tent colony near Ludlow, Colorado. The miners were on strike to protest poor working conditions, low pay, and other grievances against the Colorado Fuel and Iron Company (CF&I). The attack resulted in the deaths of numerous men, women, and children, including striking miners and their families. The Ludlow Memorial serves as a tribute to those who lost their lives during the Ludlow Massacre and as a reminder of the struggles and sacrifices made by workers in their fight for better working conditions and labor rights. It stands as a symbol of solidarity and remembrance for the labor movement in the United States.
