Anna LoPizzo was a striker killed during the Lawrence Textile Strike (also known as the Bread and Roses Strike), considered one of the most significant struggles in U.S. labor history. Eugene Debs said of the strike, "The Victory at Lawrence was the most decisive and far-reaching ever won by organized labor."〔''Roughneck, The Life and Times of Big Bill Haywood'', Peter Carlson, 1983, page 190.〕 Author Peter Carlson saw this strike conducted by the militant Industrial Workers of the World (IWW) as a turning point. He wrote, "Wary of (war with the anti-capitalist IWW ), some mill owners swallowed their hatred of unions and actually ''invited'' the AFL to organize their workers.〔''Roughneck, The Life and Times of Big Bill Haywood'', Peter Carlson, 1983, page 190.〕 Anna LoPizzo's death was significant to both sides in the struggle. Wrote Bruce Watson in his epic ''Bread and Roses: Mills, Migrants, and the Struggle for the American Dream'', "If America had a Tomb of the Unknown Immigrant paying tribute to the millions of immigrants known only to god and distant cousins compiling family trees, Anna LoPizzo would be a prime candidate to lie in it."〔Bruce Watson, ''Bread and Roses: Mills, Migrants, and the Struggle for the American Dream''. Penguin Books. 2005.〕 ==Anna LoPizzo in life== Ardis Cameron describes the immigrant's world in which Anna LoPizzo lived:
Falsification of documents might serve a number of purposes — citizenship status, job experience, age requirements...
Upon her death, Anna's adopted name was destined to become the name by which she would be known for all time. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Anna LoPizzo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
