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. 

Midnight in Vehicle city is the dramatic story of how working men defeated GM, the largest corporation in the world.  Journalist and historian Edward McClelland brings readers into the action-packed events of the strike and the violent showdowns between picketers and the police. 

This is a virtual event.

This event is open to the public.
