The Centralia Tragedy
from The Dave Bowman Show
The morning of November 11, 1919, dawned with flags fluttering and veterans standing tall in Centralia, Washington. It was the first anniversary of the Great War’s end, a day meant for solemn remembrance and celebration of peace hard-won. By sundown, that small lumber town had become the stage of one of America’s bloodiest labor conflicts. Four veterans lay dead, a radical hanged by a mob, and a community—and a nation—torn apart between two irreconcilable visions of America.
