Additional Information "Joe Hill was a labor organizer and member of the Industrial Workers of the World (the "Wobblies"). He was also a songwriter and produced numerous songs related to the struggles of working people.

He was convicted and executed in 1915, based on weak evidence, and became a martyr for the labor movement."--wiki
