Along 66, Dec. 2018: Mother Jones "The Most Dangerous Woman In America"

DECEMBER 22--  The Mother Jones historical marker was unveiled at the Coalfields Rest Area on I-55 in Illinois.  Union activist and the lady politicians feared was a major figure in the coal fields in southern Illinois.

The marker is 4 X 4 feet and there is also an indoor exhibit.  Of course, her memorial and grave is in nearby Mt. Olive, Illinois.

At one time she was called "The Most Dangerous Woman In America."

And, there is the story that FDR once ducked out of a meeting when he learned that Mother Jones was there and in the mood for a confrontation.

Always make John Q. Public aware of history.  Get 'em off those "idge" phones.
