The Ludlow Massacre more than a century ago was one of the most violent events in U.S. labor history and a wake-up call for the nation about brutal and often deadly coal mine work. Recent preservation efforts at the site about an hour south of Pueblo have revealed symbols hidden for around a hundred years.

Indigenous and constitutional law experts say a lawsuit filed earlier this month challenging Colorado’s ban on Native American mascots could blunt the national movement that's rejecting such racist and harmful imagery.
