Now all roads lead to France and heavy is the tread
Of the living; but the dead returning lightly dance.

The Centralia, WA, Armistice Day Tragedy

  1. Nicely done remembrance of a tragic event in the immediate aftermath of the war. The incident is emblematic of the tensions and social fissures highlighted by the war - workers’ rights, civil rights for non-whites, women’s rights, class tensions, etc. This event is commemorated with reverence to the present day by the American Legion.

  2. How did WWI change American labor struggles?
