This year's Great Michigan Read Event book choice is 'The Women of Copper Country' by Mary Doria Russell. It is about the 1913 strike of the copper workers in Calumet, Michigan and the women who were behind it. Join us for some other programming on the theme of union strikes in Michigan and also about mining in Michigan. Our programming will culminate with an event with the author Mary Doria Russell. 

Dan Truckey of Beaumier U.P. Heritage Center will discuss the history of labor unions in the U.P. touching on the 1913 copper strike in Calumet. 

This is a virtual event. 

This event is open to the public.
