Trace the footsteps of Mary Harris "Mother" Jones as she led the March of the Mill Children, locate the site of the country's earliest organized LGBTQ+ sit-ins at Dewey’s Restaurant, and honor the legacy of the abolitionists, civil rights champions, and pioneering women who fought for a better world.
