Communities of Ludlow: Collaborative Stewardship and the Ludlow Centennial Commemoration Commission: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Communities of Ludlow: Collaborative Stewardship and the Ludlow Centennial Commemoration Commission" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

For more than one hundred years, people have come to the Ludlow Massacre Memorial site to remember the dead, to place themselves within a larger narrative of labor history, and to learn about what occurred there. Communities of Ludlow reveals the perseverance, memory, and work that has been done to enrich and share the narratives of the people of Ludlow and the experiences of those who commemorate it.
The history of the Ludlow Massacre encompasses the stories of immigrant groups, women, the working-class, and people of color as much as the story of that tragedy, and the continued relevance of these issues creates a need for remembrance and discussion of how to make the events of the Ludlow Massacre available to contemporary society. The book outlines recent efforts to remember and commemorate this important historical event, documenting the unique collaborations in public scholarship and outreach among the diverse group of people involved in marking the 100-year anniversary of the Ludlow Massacre. The chapters relate the tales of the stewards of the Ludlow Massacrethe various communities that rallied together to keep this history alive and show its relevance, including lineal descendants, members of the United Mine Workers of America, historians, archaeologists, scholars, artists, interpreters, authors, playwrights, and politicians. The book also offers tips, strategies, and cautionary tales for practicing engaged public scholarship.
The history of the Ludlow Massacre has been told as a tragedy of striking miners in the West that occurred during a turbulent time in US labor relations, but it is so much more than that. Communities of Ludlow explores the intersections of public scholarship, advocacy, and personal experience, weaving these perspectives together with models for practicing public scholarship to illustrate the power of creating spaces for sharing ideas and information in an environment that encourages creativity, open dialogue, public outreach, political action, and alternative narratives.

This kind of book is impossible to put together without the contributions of and support from our colleagues, families, and institutions. We have had the opportunity to build strong collaborative relationships with community organizers, labor leaders, and scholars throughout the state of Colorado, the nation, and the world. We had much interaction, support and inspiration from the descendent community of coalminers and other working families in southern Colorado. Many people shared their familys histories and memories of the coal camps with us. They welcomed us in solidarity with labors struggle. We hope the readers of this book get a glimpse into the spirit of collaboration they possess.

The most important and rewarding aspects of our research came from our collaboration with the United Mine Workers of America (UMWA) and with the working people of southern Colorado. The UMWA Local 9856 and Womens Auxiliary Local 9856 maintain the Ludlow monument and host the annual memorial. The work of the UMWA is actively supported by Mike and Yolanda Romero and Robert Bob Butero. Their dedication to preserving the massacre site is exhibited in their daily lives.

The work of the Colorado Coalfield War Archaeological Project (CCWAP) formed one of the large communities of interest that contributed to our commemorative efforts. From the beginning, the CCWAP tried to build a program that speaks to multiple audiences, in understandable languages, in accessible formats, and about aspects of the past of interest to them. The work of the Colorado Coalfield War Archaeological Project would not have been possible without the vision and dedication to inclusive scholarship of Dean Saitta, Randall McGuire, and Philip Duke, as well as the Ludlow Collective. The collective included Dan Broockmann, Donna Bryant, Sarah Chicone, Bonnie J. Clark, Philip Duke, Amie Gray, Claire Horn, Michael Jacobson, Kristen Jones, Jason Lapham, Karin Larkin, Randall McGuire, Summer Moore, Paul Reckner, Mary Rudden, Dean Saitta, Mark Walker, and Margaret Wood. We conducted fieldwork at Ludlow with the permission of District 22 (now Region 4) of the United Mine Workers of America, Local 9856 of the UMWA, and the Womens Auxiliary of Local 9856. CCWAP received funding from a number of sources. The principal source of funding for the project was through History Colorados State Historical Fund. They provided grants to the project every year from 1997 until 2004. The Walter Rosenberry Fund and the Humanities Institute of the Division of Arts, Humanities, and the Social Sciences at the University of Denver provided funding for site interpretation and public education programs. The Colorado Endowment for the Humanities funded two Summer Teacher Institutes on labor history for our project. A number of community institutions including the Colorado Digitization Project, the Trinidad History Museum, and the Steelworks Museum (then the Bessemer Historical Society) aided our work with in-kind contributions and their archival resources.

In addition to the CCWAP, the Labor and Working-Class History Associations efforts in establishing the Ludlow Tent Colony as a National Historic Landmark laid a foundation for the model of collaboration between academics and the UMWA. The associations collaborative spirit and forethought allowed the Ludlow Centennial Commission to think outside of Colorado and assisted the commission members as part of a broader national and international dialogue.

The members of the Ludlow Centennial Commemoration Commission were integral in this work, including Thomas Andrews, Robert (Bob) Butero, William Convery, Dawn DiPrince, Karin Larkin, Victoria Miller, Fawn-Amber Montoya, Adam Morgan, Jonathan Rees, Dean Saitta, Maria Sanchez-Tucker, and Josephine Jones. They understood the importance and significance of this work but also the spirit of collaboration and respect; that collective commemoration and remembering was more important than the work of an individual. They assisted in creating a space where all voices and perspectives were heard, understood, and honored.
