I've visited that Memorial to Mother Jones several times years ago on my drives to St Louis and back to Chicago. An amazing woman, an 'organic intellectual' and 'permanent persuader' speaking for our class. Given today's content, Roberts might have spoken more about immigrants, a dynamic core of the UMWA, and shamed Trump-Vance in the process.

I’ve been reading articles in Mother Jones for years and never knew the origin of the name until now. What an incredible story and speech. Gave me goosebumps. Thanks for sharing it.
