About this listen
Despite the reputation of Bloomington-Normal as a staid and quiet community with nicknames such as Borington Insuranceville, the Twin Cities has a long history of protests. And unlike today's peaceful observances, it was not always so. In today's episode of McHistory, we learn about the violent streetcar strike of 1917 which involved machine guns and the state militia.
