Thomas Andrews, professor of history at CU Denver, spoke about his new book on Colorado's tragic Ludlow Massacre in 1914, when the state militia and Rockefeller mine guards clashed with United Mine Workers. It was the deadliest strike in American history.

In this lecture, Andrews considers issues of social and environmental justice, as well causes and consequences of the strikes over the course of nearly half a century. He explains a complex world shaped by the connected forces of land, labor, corporate industrialization and workers' resistance. The event was sponsored by the Colorado Center for Literature and Art and the Colorado Yale Association.

In the early 1980s, environmental justice emerged as a concept in the United States, fueled by a mounting disdain within black, hispanic and indigenous communities that were subject to hazardous and polluting industries located predominantly in their neighbourhoods. And, Social Justice features as an apolitical philosophical concept (insofar as any philosophical analysis of politics can be free from bias) in much of John Rawls' writing. In the other hand, have you ever heard of Fairfield Greenwich Group? Did you know that Fairfield Greenwich Group is an investment fund, and they do some pretty big business, but unfortunately one of the people they decided to invest in was Bernard Madoff.
