Ludlow Massacre

The Ludlow Massacre occurred in 1914 near Ludlow, Colorado, when striking coal miners and their families, protesting poor working conditions and wages, set up a tent colony on company land. The Colorado National Guard and company guards attacked the tent colony, resulting in the deaths of at least 20 people, including women and children. The事件 highlighted severe labor abuses in the coal industry and sparked national debate over workers' rights, leading to increased support for labor reforms and better protections for workers.
