Today in Labor History August 11, 1894: Federal troops drove over 1,000 jobless workers from the nation's capital. Led by Charles "Hobo" Kelley, an unemployed activist from California, and Jacob Coxey, they camped in Washington D.C. starting in July. Kelley's Hobo Army included a young journalist named Jack London and a young miner-cowboy named Big Bill Haywood. Frank Baum was an observer of the protest and some say it influenced his Wizard of Oz, with the Scarecrow representing the American farmer, the tin man representing industrial workers and the Cowardly Lion representing William Jennings Bryan, all marching on Washington (Oz) to demand redress from the president (the Wizard). 650 miners, led by a "General" Hogan, captured a Northern Pacific train at Butte, Montana, en route to the protest. The Feds caught up with them at Billings, forcing a surrender, but a few eventually made it to Washington.

From minute 46 onwards David McWilliams explains the connection between monetary policies of its time and the first Wizard of Oz book wonderfully.

Since I studied economic education and history I love that he talks about the very reason my favourite franchise was kicked off.

This music video is great. The #WizardOfOz allegory is so strong.

If that is a first edition, they may want to take more care in handling it… #WizardOfOz

@realtegan Well, any fellow #WizardOfOz fans interested in forming such a group?

Oooh! Fascinating photo of Tom Sturridge holding a first edition of the Marvelous Land of Oz on the set of The Sandman. @ericgjovaag will definitely be thrilled by this! I wonder if it has anything to do with Mervyn Pumpkinhead? I bet @neilhimself would know, but I don't know if he's talking.

Hubby-Eric, we gotta get an Oz group set up on the Fediverse for sightings of things like this.

My friend is planning to run a #WizardOfOz study with a #chatbot and is trying to find out what's the best software for recording the interactions and a dialogue messaging tool. She's familiar with parl.ai, but apparently it's not what she needs. I'm John Snow with regards to this topic - I know nothing. Help?

A double dose of The Wizard of Oz in the comics this weekend. https://blogofoz.blogspot.com/2023/06/this-weekends-oz-comics.html #WizardOfOz

"Lynch found something in Oz that he's, in many ways, tried to recreate in his own work, where the dreams that you dream of really do come true."
