This is the first half of Justin’s series covering the life and political evolution of American socialist and labor leader Eugene Debs. This follows the beginning of his life and career all the way through the Pullman Strike orchestrated by the American Railway Union, one of the largest strikes in American history.

The rest of the series finishing out his life, diving into his turn to socialism, founding the Socialist Party of America, and the IWW, and all of his presidential runs is coming soon. Stay tuned!
