The Ludlow Massacre is a dark stain on the fabric of American history. In April 1914, members of Colorado’s National Guard mobilized by John D. Rockefeller, Jr. attacked and set fire to the town of Ludlow. Their intention — to brutally disperse a labor strike for better conditions. The ensuing chaos would claim the lives of over 50 miners and 13 women and children.
