 “The Wobbly Show” originated in 2005 to celebrate the 100 year anniversary of the founding of The Industrial Workers of the World. A series of graphic arts exhibits toured the U.S., Canada and Europe depicting modern artists interpretations as well as historical photographs and archival materials from the I.W.W.’s printed history. The James Connolly Upstate N.Y. Regional General Membership Branch of the I.W.W. hosted the exhibit and became permanent curators of one of its large versions. A new documentary about the I.W.W.’s unique role in labor history has been produced by the local Branch of the union, using the graphics from the exhibit and other photographs and film clips relating to the I.W.W.’s struggles. “The Wobbly Show” is an informative and stirring look at the history they never teach in the American classroom. The Wobbly Show is now available on DVD. The price is $10.00 per copy. You can order yours by sending a check to P.O. Box 74, Altamont, NY 12009. For more information contact:
