A citywide public-history commemoration
In 2027, St. Louis marks 150 years since workers across the city joined a national railroad uprising and created what became known as the St. Louis Commune.
The commemoration
The Commemoration Committee seeks to highlight and commemorate the 1877 St. Louis General Strike on its 150th anniversary—and to involve the public in learning about this important event in St. Louis history.
