Labor Day, marked the day for the release of The Man Who Never Died. This book presents new evidence of Joe Hill's innocence of the murder for which Utah executed him in 1915. It also names the likely perpetrator of that murder: a career criminal who went on to work for Al Capone. The Man Who Never Died, Joe Hill is a narrative history of Joe Hill's life and the rise of the Industrial Workers of the World, the IWW, the Wobblies. It seeks to put Joe Hill's martyrdom, his organizing, his music in the radical context of his times. What better cultural icon to inspire and move us then Joe Hill, the man who never died. We speak with author Bill Adler who keeps Joe Hill alive.
