The record — long form
Centralia is the '19 — the Armistice Day parade that attacked the IWW hall, the six who died. The Everest was the lynched — the veteran who was hanged from the bridge, the mutilation that followed. The trials were the '20 — the seven convicted of murder, the '33 release that came late.
The Legion was the parade — the 'celebration' that was the cover, the attack that was planned. The Wobblies were the warned — the defense that they prepared, the hall that they held. Centralia is the labor's — the massacre that's the contested, the 'tragedy' that's the other name.
