In 1909 Eugene Debs visited the striking workers at McKees Rocks. In his speech, Debs told the gathered workers:
"There are fifteen nationalities here this morning, but you are one class. You are working men united in a single cause…” (1/2)

Socialist luminary and union agitator Eugene V. Debs died on this day in 1926.

Debs’s life and work was inspired by an unwavering belief that a more just and free world was possible, and that it would be created through class struggle.
